u    *    *    *    In  a  very  true  sense,  the  great  spirits  who  have  departed  this  life  are  still 
with  us  in  the  strife  of  our  earthly  days."— MABIE. 


The  Late  President   IV.  M.  Beardshear 


"Forenoon  and  afternoon  and  night,  Forenoon, 
And  afternoon,  and  night, 
Forenoon  and  —  what! 

The  empty  song  repeats  itself.     No  more? 
Yea,  that  is  Life;  make  this  forenoon  sublime, 
This  afternoon  ;i  psalm,  this  night  a  prayer, 
And  Time  is  eononered,  and  thy  erown  is  won."

IOWA    STATE    COLLEGE 


FACULTY  TRIBUTE 


The  faculty  of  the  Iowa  State  College,  moved  by  feelings  of  pro- 
found sorrow  and  deepest  sympathy  in  the  great  loss  of  our  lamented 
President,  hereby  unite  in  expression  of  the  following  appreciation. 

The  loss  of  an  eminent  leader  in  any  rank  of  life  is  a  misfortune 
of  far  reaching  consequence,  but  the  loss  of  a  great  leader  of  educa- 
tional and  moral  forces  is  especially  to  be  deplored.  It  rarely  falls  to 
the  lot  of  any  man  to  possess  in  such  large  measure  the  general 
esteem  and  confidence,  and  to  impress  so  deeply  for  good,  the  lives  of 
so  many  people  of  all  classes,  as  was  reached  and  influenced  by  Dr. 
Beardshear.  No  one  could  know  him  but  to  be  the  better  for  his 
acquaintance.  His  genial  personality,  gentleness  and  strength,  were 
ever  a  source  of  renewed  energy  and  higher  endeavor.  His  labors  as 
President  of  the  Iowa  State  College  were  the  crowning  work  of  a  fruit- 
ful life.  Coming  to  the  institution  at  a  critical  period,  he  rendered  an 
eminent  service  which  was  the  product  of  a  master  mind  and  genius. 
His  personal  achievements  were  of  the  highest  order,  but  in  addition 
he  possessed  that  rare  and  essential  quality  of  every  great  leader, — 
the  faculty  of  developing  and  stimulating  the  best  that  is  in  every  one 
else. 

The  leadership  of  President  Beardshear  was  in  every  way  typical 
of  a  great  life,  such  a  life  as  Lowell  characterized  in  the  following 
lines: 

All  thoughts  that  mould  the  age  begin 
Deep  down  within  the  primitive  soul, 
And  from  the  many  slowly  upward  win, 
To  one  who  grasps  the  whole. 

The  deej),  silent  forces  and  the  earnest,  exalted  purposes  that 
were  the  source  of  power  in  President  Beardshear's  life,  were  mani- 
fest in  all  his  work.  His  plans,  born  of  a  large  heart,  a  keen  percep- 
tion and  intuitive  mind,  were  always  broad  and  progressive  and  typi- 
cal of  his  inspiring  faith,  and  his  generous  and  magnanimous  nature. 
His  work  was  peculiarly  original;  striking  in  conception,  and  masterful 
in  execution.     Though  entering  a  new  field  on  assuming  the  duties  of 


FACULTY    TRIBUTE  7 

executive  of  an  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College,  the  broad  sym- 
pathies with  humanity,  and  his  active  interest  in  the  industrial  profes- 
sions, enabled  him  at  once  to  grasp  the  needs  and  understand  the 
functions  and  purposes  of  the  land-grant  colleges  so  comprehensively 
and  intelligently  that  he  became  the  acknowledged  leader  in  the  ranks 
of  all  similar  institutions  of  America,  and  he  was  unanimously  accorded 
the  distinguished  honor  of  the  presidency  of  the  National  Educational 
Association,  an  honor  never  before  conferred  upon  a  citizen  of  Iowa, 
or  an  officer  of  a  land-grant  college.  It  was  his  work  more  than  that 
of  any  other  man  of  his  time  that  served  to  place  industrial  and  prac- 
tical education  in  its  true  light,  and  to  command  the  respect  and  ad- 
miration of  the  educational  forces  of  the  world. 

His  prophetic  vision,  his  keen  perception  and  accurate  analysis, 
and  above  all,  his  sublime  faith,  were  inspiring  to  all  who  came  under 
the  influence  of  his  magic  power,  and  his  qualities  of  leadership  were 
inherent  and  without  effort. 

President  Beardshear  was  an  ideal  leader  and  director  of  the 
efforts  and  work  of  his  assistants,  the  faculty  and  instructors  of  this 
college.  As  a  leader  he  foresaw  the  needs,  secured  the  material 
means,  and  selected  those  who  could  best  assist  him  in  carrying  out 
his  plans.  As  a  director  of  our  efforts  and  work,  he  had  the  happy 
way  of  placing  and  inspiring  confidence  so  that  effort  was  united,  and 
work  was  done  without  friction  and  with  results  fruitful  along  the  lines 
he  had  laid  down  for  the  guidance  of  the  institution  to  the  permanent 
success  which  he  desired. 

To  his  associates  he  manifested  the  purest  friendship  and  the 
noblest  manhood;  and  more  than  leader  and  director,  President 
Beardshear  was  a  friend  to  each  and  all  of  us  and  his  friendship  was 
the  reward  most  sought  by  his  co-workers  of  the  faculty,  and  furnished 
sufficient  inspiratien  for  untiring  energy  on  our  part  during  his  life, 
and  now  strengthens  and  inspires  us  to  carry  on  the  task  so  well  be- 
gun under  his  wise,  energetic  and  friendly  direction. 


"One  of  the  wisest  things  this  government  ever  did  was  to  make 
ample  provision  for  the  great  agricultural  institutions  in  this  land.  We 
now  have  more  than  half  a  hundred  of  them  to  testify  to  the  worth 
and  sagacity  of  the  Congress  of  these  United  States." — President 
McKinley,  at  Ames,  Iowa,  in  October,  1898.

"I  am  not  learned  in  agriculture  though  I  was  born  and  reared 
upon  a  farm,  and  whatever  education  I  acquired  was  paid  for  by  the 
proceeds  of  corn  and  wheat  and  hogs." — Ex-President  Harrison.

"The  farmer's  trade  is  one  of  worth, 
He  is  partner  with  the  sky  and  earth, 

He's  partner  with  the  sun  and  rain, 
And  no  man  loses  for  his  gain, 

And  men  may  rise  and  men  may  fall, 
The  farmer  he  must  feed  them  all."

HISTORICAL 


In  1858  the  Legislature  of  Iowa  passed  an  act  to  establish 
"A  State  Agricultural  College  and  Model  Farm,"  to  be  connected 
with  the  entire  agricultural  interests  of  the  State;  appointed  a 
board  of  commissioners  to  buy  a  farm  and  erect  a  college  build- 
ing, and  elected  a  board  of  trustees  to  select  a  faculty  and  organ- 
ize a  college.  In  1859  a  farm  of  six  hundred  and  forty  acres, 
situated  near  Ames,  was  purchased  for  the  use  of  the  college. 
The  farm  now  contains  eight  hundred  and  forty  acres. 

In  1862  a  bill  was  passed  by  Congress,  entitled,  "An  act 
donating  public  lands  to  the  several  States  and  Territories, 
which  may  provide  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  Agriculture  arid  the 
Mechanic  Arts." 

Section  1  of  this  act  provides  that  for  the  support  ot  such 
colleges  there  be  granted  "an  amount  of  public  land,  to  be  appor- 
tioned to  each  State  in  quantity  to  equal  thirty  thousand  acres 
for  each  Senator  and  Representative  in  Congress  to  which  the 
States  are  respectively  entitled  by  the  apportionment  under  the 
census  of  1860;  provided  that  no  mineral  lands  shall  be  selected 
or  purchased  under  the  provisions  of  this  act." 

Section  4  requires:  "That  all  moneys  derived  from  the  sale 
of  lands  aforesaid  by  the  States  to  which  lands  are  apportioned, 
and  from  the  sale  of  land  script,  hereinbefore  provided  for,  shall 
constitute  a  perpetual  fund,  the  capital  of  which  shall  remain 
forever  undiminished  (except  as  may  be  provided  for  in  section 
fifth  of  this  act),  and  the  interest  of  which  shall  inviolably  be 
apportioned  by  each  State  which  may  take  and  claim  the  benefit 
of  this  act,  to  the  endowment,  support  and  maintenance  of  at 
least  one  college,  where  the  leading  object  shall  be,  without 
excluding  other  scientific  and  classical  studies,  and  including 
military  tactics,  to  teach  such  branches  of  learning  as  are 
related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  in  such  manner  as 
the  Legislature  of  the  State  may  provide,  in  order  to  promote 
the  liberal  and  practical  education  of  the  industrial  classes  in 
the  several  pursuits  and  professions  of  life." 

Section  5  says:  "And  be  it  further  enacted,  that  the  grant 
of  land  and  land  script  hereby  authorized,  shall  be  made  on  the 
following  conditions,  to  which,  as  well  as  the  provisions  herein- 


20  IOWA    STATE    COLLEG1 

before  contained,  the  previous  absent  o;  the  several  States  shall 
be  signified  by  legislative  acts;  first,  if  any  portion  of  the  fund, 
invested  as  provided  by  the  foregoing  section,  or  any  portion  of 
the  interest  thereon,  shall,  by  any  action  or  contingency,  be 
diminished  or  lost,  it  shall  be  replaced  by  the  State  to  which  it 
belongs,  so  that  the  capital  of  the  fund  shall  remain  forever 
undiminished;  and  the  annual  interest  shall  be  regularly  applied 
without  diminution  to  the  purposes  mentioned  in  the  fourth  sec- 
tion of  this  act,  except  that  a  sum  not  exceeding  ten  per  centum 
upon  the  amount  received  by  any  State  under  the  provisions 
of  this  act,  may  be  expended  for  the  purchase  of  land  for  sites 
or  experimental  farms,  wherever  authorized  by  the  respective 
Legislatures  of  said  States.  Second,  no  portion  of  said  fund  nor 
the  interest  thereon  shall  be  applied,  directly  or  indirectly,  under 
any  pretense  whatever,  to  the  purchase,  erection,  preservation  or 
repair  of  any  building  or  buildings." 

The  General  Assembly  of  Iowa,  September  11,  1862,  accepted 
the  grant  upon  the  conditions  and  under  the  restrictions  con- 
tained in  the  act  of  Congress,  and  by  so  doing  entered  into  con- 
tract with  the  General  Government  to  erect  and  keep  in  repair  all 
buildings  necessary  for  the  use  of  the  College.  By  this  action  of 
the  General  Assembly  the  College  was  changed  from  an  agricul- 
tural institution  into  a  College  of  Agriculture  and  Mechanic  Arts, 
with  the  broad  and  liberal  course  of  study  outlined  in  the  follow- 
ing paragraph. 

In  1882  the  General  Assembly  passed  an  act  defining  the 
course  of  study  to  be  pursued  as  follows:  Section  1.  That  section 
1621  of  the  Code  is  hereby  repealed  and  the  following  is  enacted 
in  lieu  thereof:  "Section  1621.  There  shall  be  adopted  and 
taught  in  the  State  Agricultural  College,  a  broad,  liberal  and 
practical  course  of  study,  in  which  the  leading  branches  of  learn- 
ing shall  relate  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  and  which 
shall  also  embrace  such  other  branches  of  learning  as  will  most 
practically  and  liberally  educate  the  agricultural  and  industrial 
classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions  of  life,  including 
military  tactics.  Section  2.  That  all  acts,  and  parts  of  acts  incon- 
sistent with  this  act  are  hereby  repealed." 

August  30th  the  following  act  was  approved  by  President 
Harrison:  "Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Represen- 
tatives of  the  United  States  in  Congress  assembled,  that  there 
shall  be  and  hereby  is,  annually  appropriated,  out  of  any  moneys 
in  the  treasury  not  otherwise  appropriated,  arising  from  the  sales 


HISTORICAL  21 

of  public  lands,  to  be  paid  as  hereinafter  provided,  to  each  State 
and  Territory  for  the  more  complete  endowment  and  mainten- 
ance of  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  agriculture  and  the  mechanic 
arts  now  established,  or  which  may  hereafter  be  established,  in 
accordance  with  an  act  of  Congress  approved  July  second, 
eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-two,  the  sum  of  fifteen  thousand 
dollars  for  the  year  ending  June  thirtieth,  eighteen  hundred  and 
ninety,  and  an  annual  increase  of  the  amount  of  such  appropria- 
tion thereafter  for  ten  years  by  an  additional  sum  of  one  thousand 
dollars  over  the  preceding  year,  and  the  annual  amount  to  be 
paid  thereafter  to  each  State  and  Territory  shall  be  twenty-five 
thousand  dollars,  to  be  applied  only  to  instruction  in  agriculture, 
the  mechanic  arts,  the  English  language  and  the  various  branches 
of  mathematical,  physical,  natural  and  economic  science,  with 
special  reference  to  their  application  in  the  industries  of  life,  and 
to  facilities  for  such  instruction." 

The  income  of  the  College  from  National  grants  is  therefore 
expended  in  instruction,  experimentation  and  illustration  in  agri- 
culture and  in  the  mechanic  arts,  and  in  underlying  and  related 
science  and  literature. 

All  buildings  are  erected  and  all  repairs  thereon  are  made 
by  the  State  of  Iowa,  the  cost  down  to  date  being  about  $600,000. 

The  College  was  formally  opened  on  the  17th  of  March,  1869.

AMES  AND  THE  COLLEGE 


The  College  occupies  a  delightful  and  healthful  location  upon 
high  rolling  land,  just  west  of  Ames,  Story  County.  The  railroad 
facilities  for  reaching  Ames  from  every  part  of  the  State  are 
excellent.  It  is  at  the  junction  of  the  Des  Moines  and  the  north- 
western branches  and  the  main  line  of  the  Chicago  &  North- 
western R.  R.  The  main  line  of  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St. 
Paul  intersects  the  Northwestern  at  Slater,  eleven  miles  south, 
and  the  through  line  of  the  same  system  at  Algona  on  the  north. 
The  main  line  of  the  Illinois  Central  intersects  the  Chicago  & 
Northwestern  at  Webster  City,  just  north,  and  the  main  line  of 
the  Iowa  Central  makes  good  connections  at  Marshalltown  on  the 
east.  All  the  railway  connections  of  Des  Moines  have  thirty- 
seven  miles  to  Ames.  The  Chicago  &  Northwestern  Railway  has 
frequent  trains,  Des  Moines  to  Ames  and  return.  A  steam  motor 
railway  connects  Ames  and  the  College  with  efficient  service. 
Ames  is  a  most  desirable  town  for  wholesome  college  influences. 
Its  people  are  enterprising,  thrifty  and  cordial.  The  town  has  an 
excellent  system  of  public  schools,  numerous  churches,  water 
works,  electric  lights,  and  a  good  city  government.  It  affords 
wholesome  surroundings  for  the  students.  It  is  an  inviting  com- 
munity for  families  who  wish  to  educate  their  children,  enioy 
the  better  elements  of  society  and  an  environment  of  reasonable 
expenses.  The  town  and  the  College  are  on  very  cordial  terms, 
and  its  citizens  take  marked  pains  in  the  efforts  of  the  students 
and  the  highest  interests  of  the  College.  It  is  a  model  location 
for  factories  and  business  enterprises.

high  land  of  the  southwest  part  of  the  farm,  and  include  the 
campus,  shrubbery,  plantations,  young  forestry  plantations,  the 
flower  borders  and  gardens,  with  the  beginnings  of  a  botanical 
garden,  and  the  surroundings  of  the  professors'  dwellings.  Gravel 
drives,  cement  and  gravel  walks,  lead  to  all  parts  of  the  grounds 
and  to  the  various  buildings,  and  the  true  principles  of  landscape 
gardening  have  been  so  faithfully  oDserved  in  the  gardening  and 
in  the  location  of  buildings  and  drives  as  to  make  of  the  entire 
Campus  a  large  and  beautiful  park.  The  view  of  the  surrounding 
country  from  the  upper  stories  of  the  large  buildings  is  one  of 
wide  extent  and  great  beauty.

multiplication,  division,  factoring,  highest  common  factor,  lowest 
common  multiple,  fractions,  simple  equations  containing  one  or 
more  unknown  quantities,  problems  involving  equations  of  the 


32  IOWA    STATE    COLLEGE 

first  degree,  and  the  discussion  of  such  equations.  The  work  in 
algebra  should  be  of  a  grade  equal  to  that  of  Wentworth's  New 
School  or  Well's  Essentials  of  Algebra. 

The  examination  in  English  will  cover  the  entire  field  of 
grammar,  except  prosody.  In  this  examination  much  will  depend 
on  the  candidate's  ability  to  analyze  a  passage  of  good  modern 
prose,  and  to  punctuate  his  paper  correctly.  In  analyzing  he 
should  be  prepared  to  treat  phrases  and  clauses  as  units,  and  to 
state  the  exact  function  of  conjunctive  words.  He  should  show 
a  ready  and  accurate  knowledge  of  the  structure  of  the  prose 
sentence  and  the  relations  of  its  various  parts  to  one  another. 
For  further  information,  see  the  sample  examination  questions  in 
Advanced  Grammar,  page  33. 

Many  students  will  find  iL.  exceedingly  desirable  to  begin 
their  work  in  college  in  this  term.  Those  who  have  had  consider- 
able algebra  in  the  preparatory  school  should  review  its  funda- 
mental principles  and  become  acquainted  with  their  application 
in  the  wider  and  more  difficult  field  of  college  work,  and  those 
who  have  had  experience  in  plane  geometry  can  to  advantage 
supplement  such  study  by  a  review  of  some  standard  text  and  a 
thorough  drill  in  the  original  geometric  propositions.  The  classes 
in  these  studies  established  at  the  beginning  of  the  spring  term 
furnish  an  excellent  opportunity  for  students  to  prepare  them- 
selves thoroughly  for  entering  upon  collegiate  work  at  the  open- 
ing of  tne  next  school  year. 

In  like  manner,  students  who  have  completed  grammar  and 
have  had  a  high  school  course  in  rhetoric  have  an  opportunity  in 
this  term  to  review  the  principles  of  style  and  correct  whatever 
errors  they  still  make  in  expressing  their  thoughts.  Without  a 
thorough  grounding  in  the  principles  of  style  and  a  considerable 
degree  of  accuracy  in  choosing  words  and  constructing  sentences, 
also  in  planning  and  developing  paragraphs,  it  is  practically  im- 
possible for  a  student  to  do  creditable  work  in  Freshman  English. 
The  majority  of  those  who  fail  in  English,  fail  because  they  are 
not  fully  prepared  to  do  the  work  they  attempt.  In  many  instances 
the  cause  of  failure  is  that  the  student  has  not  been  trained  to 
apply  the  principles  he  has  recited;  properly  directed  practice  in 
composition  is  far  more  important  than  the  mere  memorizing 
of  rules  and  definitions.  To  begin  work  in  this  term  would 
prepare  many  for  a  better  standing  throughout  their  course  than 
would  otherwise  be  possible.

REQUIREMENTS    FOR    ADMISSION    TO    FRESHMAN    YEAR. 

YEAR  BEGINS   SEPTEMBER   1,    1903. 

The  requirements  for  admission  to  the  Veterinary  course  are 
fully  specified  in  the  write-up  of  the  Veterinary  Course. 

The  requirements  for  all  courses  other  than  Veterinary 
Science  include  either  graduation  from  a  High  School  belonging 
to  the  list  of  accredited  schools  prepared  by  the  Committee  on 
College  Entrance  Requirements  appointed  by  the  State  Teachers' 
Association,  or  else  approved  standings  in  the  studies  of  the 
Academic  Year  and  the  studies  necessary  for  entrance  to  the 
Academic  Year.  All  students,  however,  must  stand  examination 
in  English. 

For  all  Engineering  Courses,  beginning  with  the  fall  term 
1904,  all  students  will  be  required  to  present  one  year's  work  in 
either  French  or  German.  This  may  consist  of  either  one  full 
High  School  year  of  five  recitations  per  week  or  the  course  in 
French  or  German  given  in  the  Academic  Year.  Students  who 
are  not  able  to  meet  the  entrance  requirement  in  French  or 
German,  and  who  are  otherwise  satisfactorily  prepared  to  enter 
the  college,  may  be  conditioned  in  this  subject  and  make  it  up 
after  entering  college. 

ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS  IN  MATHEMATICS. 

The  examination  in  plane  geometry  will  be  upon  the  text 
used  by  the  student.  He  should  be  prepared  to  demonstrate  orig- 
inal exercises. 

The  examination  in  algebra  will  cover  the  following  subjects: 
Fundamental  operations,  including  examples  involving  the  use  of 
literal,  fractional  and  negative  exponents;  parentheses  occurring 
in  terms  and  factors;  factoring;  highest  common  factor  and 
lowest  common  multiple;  fractions;  equations  of  the  first  degree 
involving  one  or  more  unknown  quantities  and  problems  leading 

to  such    equations r- discussion   of   the    forms    — »    — »   —  etc.;inequal-

ities;  involution  and  evolution  of  algebraic  monomials  and  poly- 
nomials, including  the  extraction  of  the  higher  roots;  radicals, 
including  the  fundamental  operations,  rationalization,  imaginary 
quantities,  binomial  surds  and  the  solution  of  equations  contain- 
ing radicals;  pure  and  affected  quadratics;  solution  of  quadratics 
by  factoring;  problems  involving  quadratics;  equations  solved 
like  quadratics;  simultaneous  quadratic  equations,  and  theory  of 
quadratics.     Students  who  have  thoroughly  mastered  these  sub- 


34  IOWA   STATE   COLLEGE 

jects  in  Wentworth's  New  School  Algebra,  Well's  Essentials  of 
Algebra  or  text  books  of  an  equal  grade  and  who  have  carefully- 
reviewed  them  preparatory  to  taking  up  advanced  work,  ought 
readily  to  pass  the  required  examination. 

An  idea  of  the  quality  of  work  demanded  can  be  gained  from 
the  sample  examination  questions  which  follow:

ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS  IN  ENGLISH. 

The  applicant  should  show  thorough  preparation  in  English, 
including  grammar  and  elementary  rhetoric,  and  not  over-looking 
spelling,  reading,  and  punctuation.  A  student  who  spells  poorly 
will  be  conditioned  in  English  courses  until  he  is  able  to  spell 
with  comparative  accuracy.  The  applicant  should  understand 
the  words  in  current  use  in  good  modern  prose,  and  should  be 
able  to  read  aloud  with  that  ease  and  fluency  that  betoken  a 
correct  understanding  of  what  he  reads.  His  knowledge  of 
grammar  should  enable  him  to  classify  words  according  to  their 
grammatical  properties,  to  give  their  inflections  and  to  identify 
each  form,  to  analyze  in  detail  sentences  of  modern  prose,  and, 
above  all,  to  construct  sentences  correctly.  He  should  have  given 
sufficient  study  to  punctuation  to  enable  him  to  use  the  marks 
correctly  in  his  own  compositions.  His  knowledge  of  rhetoric 
is  best  tested,  not  by  his  readiness  to  give  definitions,  but  rather 
by  his  ability  to  apply  his  knowledge  of  rhetorical  principles  in 
his  own  speech  and  composition.  His  speech  should  be  free  from 
gross  errors  and  awkward  constructions,  and  he  should  be  able  to 
write  with  a  fair  degree,  not  only  of  correctness,  but  also  of  ease. 
For  such  training,  more  depends  upon  the  teacher  than  upon  the 
text-book,  but  the  method  pursued  in  a  book  like  Scott  and  Den- 
ney's  "Composition-Rhetoric"  is  likely  in  general  to  produce  the 
best  results.

An  idea  of  the  extent  and  nature  of  the  ground  covered  may- 
be gained  from  the  following  set  of  sample  examination  questions 
in  English: 

PREPARATORY   G  HAM  MAR.

I.  (a)     Decline  /,  it,  lady,  dog,  Charles. 

(b)  Compare  noisy,  ill,  remarkable. 

(c)  Write  the  principal  parts  of  go,  se?,  ride,  sleep,  try.

of  pronouns,  and  give  an  example  of  each. 

IV.  In  the  following  sentence  tell  what  part  of  speech  each 
word  is:  "The  deacon  did  not  stop  to  speak  to  her,  but  after  a 
moment's  thought  placed  the  precious  wallet  under  the  pillows." 

V.  Analyze  this  sentence:  "This  act  was  followed  by  anoth- 
er moment's  reflection,  and  as  the  old  man  turned,  his  son  stood 
before  him  in  the  doorway." 

VI.  Parse  the  italicized  words:  "These  are  not  my  books. 
I  think  they  must  belong  to  some  of  the  boys.  What  boys  have 
been  here  since  I  left?' 

ADVANCED    GRAMMAR. 

(For  admission  to  the  second  term  of  the  Academic  Year). 

I.  Conjugate  strike  in  the  present  perfect,  _past,  and  past 
perfect  tenses  of  the  indicative  mood,  passive  voice. 

II.  Define  (a)  personal  pronoun,  (b)  demonstrative  adjec- 
tive, (c)  abstract  noun,  (d)  impersonal  verb,  (e)  active  voice,  (f)

and    ride. 

V.  Distinguish  between  shall  and  will  in  (a)  the  first  person, 
(b)  the  third  person. 

VI.  Parse  the  italicized  words:  "No  man  ever  loved  more 
than  Stanley  to  look  facts  in  the  face,  and  to  know  the  exact  and 
certain  truth.     'Let  us  be  firmly  persuaded,'  he  wrote,  'that  error 


38  IOWA   STATE  COLLEGE 

is  more   easily   eradicated   by   establishing   truth,   and   darkness 
most  permanently  displaced  by  diffusing  light'." 

VII.  In  the  following  sentence  state  what  each  phrase  mod- 
ifies and  how:  "There  is  no  clearer  illustration  of  this  love  of 
light  than  in  his  eager  and  impassioned  insistence  that  the 
revision  of  the  translation  of  the  Bible  should  have  the  help  of  all 
the  best  scholarship  of  England,  in  whatever  creed  or  church  it 
might  be  found."     Also  point  out  all  the  modifiers  of  insistence. 

VIII.  In  the  following  sentence  state  the  office  of  each  clause, 
and  point  out  the  subject,  verb,  and  complement  of  each:  "It  is  a 
duty  which  the  people,  by  the  constitution  itself,  have  imposed  on 
the  state  legislatures,  and  which  they  might  have  left  to  be  per- 
formed elsewhere,  if  they  nad  seen  fit." 

IX.  Analyze  this  sentence:  "Culture  seeks  to  do  away  with 
classes;  to  make  the  best  that  has  been  thought  and  known  in  the 
world  current  everywhere;  to  make  all  men  live  in  an  atmosphere 
of  sweetness  and  light,  where  they  may  use  ideas  as  it  uses  them 
itself,  freely, — nourished  and  not  bound  by  them." 

X.  Punctuate:  "I  would  not  perplex  a  young  mind  with 
punctuation  as  a  system  or  with  nice  questions  between  semi- 
colons and  colons  but  every  one  should  at  an  early  age  be  taught 
the  difference  between  the  period  and  the  comma  and  the  principal 
functions  of  each  every  one  should  be  taught  too  the  great  prin- 
ciple that  a  point  serves  as  a  guide  to  the  construction  and 
through  the  construction  to  the  meaning  of  the  sentence." 

ELEMENTARY    RHETORIC. 

(For  admission  to  the  first  term  of  the  Freshman  Year). 

I.  In  the  following  sentence,  (a)  state  the  exact  grammatical 
office  of  each  phrase;  (b)  parse  the  italicized  words;  (c)  account 
for  the  punctuation:  "During  the  first  half  century  of  our  national 
life  we  seemed  to  have  succeeded  in  an  extraordinary  degree  in 
approaching  our  ideal,  in  organizing  a  nation  for  counsel  and 
co-operation,  and  in  moving  forward  with  cordial  unison  and 
with  confident  and  buoyant  step  toward  the  accomplishment  of 
tasks  and  duties  upon  which  all  were  agreed" 

II.  Correct  the  following  sentences,  and  explain  the  corree 
tion: 

1.  John  writes  as  well  or  better  than  Henry. 

2.  Tom  was  laying  on  the  floor  when  I  come  in. 

3.  He  haint  got  nothing  to  worry  about. 

4.  If  I  was  him  I  would  of  done  it  long  ago.

III.  Discuss  fully  and  carefully  four  of  the  following  topics: 

1.  The  practical  value  of  rhetoric. 

2.  The  essential  qualities  of  the  paragraph. 

3.  The  respective  advantages  of  the  short  sentence,  the  long 
sentence,  and  the  periodic  sentence. 

4.  Define  purity,  propriety,  and  precision,  and  state  why 
each  should  be  observed. 

5.  The  topic  sentence;  what  it  is,  its  position,  its  value. 

IV.  Write  an  essay  of  from  250  to  350  words  on  two  of  the 
following  topics: 

1.  My  reasons  for  desiring  a  college  education. 

2.  A  striking  contrast — persons,  places,  or  things. 

3.  A  trying  experience. 

4.  A  visit  to  . 

Note — These  essays  are  considered  an  important  part  of  the  examination. 
They  will  be  graded  mainly  on  diction,  sentence  structure  and  connection,  and 
paragraphing.  Good  penmanship,  neatness  of  manuscript,  and  correct  spelling 
and  punctuation  are  also  important. 

ENTRANCE   REQUIREMENTS   IN  HISTORY. 

For  admission  to  the  work  of  the  First  Semester  of  the 
Academic  Year  the  student  is  expected  to  pass  a  satisfactory  ex- 
amination in  United  States  history.  Standings  from  the  graded 
schools  will  be  accepted  in  lieu  of  the  examination.  To  pursue 
successfully  the  work  of  the  First  Semester  in  the  Academic  year 
it  is  expected  that  the  student  will  have  had  some  drill  in  the 
study  of  historical  subjects.  This  will  be  determined  by  the 
nature  of  the  school  work  already  done. 

For  admission  to  the  work  in  history  for  the  Second  Semester 
of  the  Academic  Year,  standings  in  general  history  from 
accredited  high-schools  are  accepted  in  lieu  of  an  examination  on 
the  work  in  history  for  the  First  Semester.  Such  credit  is  condi- 
tional upon  the  maintenance  of  a  satisfactory  grade  of  scholarship 
in  the  advanced  work  assigned.  Should  failure  result,  any  por- 
tion of  the  credit  allowed  may  be  cancelled  or  review  without 
credit  be  required. 

Since  the  text-book  in  the  Second  Semester  of  the  Academic 
Year  is  largely  supplemented  by  library  and  written  work  and 
other  important  class  exercises,  this  course  must  be  taken  at  the 
College  except  for  those  students  who  have  had  the  equivalent  of 
history  as  arranged  in  a  fully  accredited  high-school  course. 

Pupils  from  any  of  the  Fully  or  Partially  Accredited  schools 
not  graduates  may  receive  credit  in  the  Academic  Year,  for  the 
work  done  at  the  high  school,  but  such  credit  is  conditioned"  upon 


4()  IOWA  STATE   COLLEGE 

the  maintenance  of  a  satisfactory  grade  of  scholarship  in  the  ad- 
vanced work  assigned. 

Students  from  high-schools  not  accredited,  wno  desire  credits 
for  the  Academic  Year  will  be  expected  to  pass  a  satisfactory 
examination  in  General  History  to  the  Reformation. 

ENTRANCE  REQUIREMENTS  IN  FREE-HAND  DRAWING. 

For  admission  to  the  First  term  of  the  Academic  Year  no 
previous  work  in  drawing  is  required. 

The  standings  of  students  from  High  Schools  giving  courses 
in  free-hand  drawing  may  be  accepted  in  lieu  of  the  work  in  free- 
hand drawing  for  the  first  term  of  the  Academic  Year. 

The  work  in  free-hand  drawing  of  the  second  term  of  the 
Academic  Year  (for  engineering  students  only)  will  be  required 
of  all  entering  engineering  students  who  cannot  demonstrate  pro- 
ficiency in  sketching  parts  of  machines  and  a  knowledge  of  the 
principles  of  projection  and  of  dimensioning,  and  facility  in  plain 
free-hand  lettering. 

EXAMINATION  AT  HOME. 

The  heads  of  the  English,  History  and  Mathematical  depart- 
ments will  cheerfully  unite  with  principals  of  schools  in  arranging 
for  such  examinations  in  grammar,  rhetoric,  history,  algebra  and 
geometry,  as  will  admit  students  to  our  Freshman  Class.  Candi- 
dates can  arrange  also  to  have  questions  for  examination  sent  to 
County  Superintendents  or  other  school  officers  who  are  willing 
to  conduct  the  examination.  The  papers  will  be  forwarded  to 
the  heads  of  the  English,  History,  and  Mathematical  departments, 
who  will  mark  the  same  and  notify  the  applicant  of  the  record 
received. 

The  attention  of  applicants  for  admission  is  particularly 
called  to  this  arrangement,  by  which  all  their  entrance  examina- 
tions can  be  taken  at  a  convenient  place  near  home. 

ADMISSION   ON  DIPLOMA. 

SCHOOLS  FULLY  ACCREDITED. 

The  following  list  of  accredited  schools  has  been  prepared 
by  the  Committee  on  College  Entrance  Requirements  appointed 
by  the  State  Teachers'  Association.  The  attention  of  secondary 
schools  is  called  to  the  fact  that  beginning  with  this  year  each 
school  to  be  accredited  must  have  at  least  three  teachers  devot- 
ing their  time  exclusively  to  High  School  work.  A  full  and  com- 
plete list  of  the   rules  governing  accrediting  of  High   Schools 


DIRECTIONS    TO    CANDIDATES    AND    STUDENTS.  41 

and  the  statement  of  how  a  High  School  may  become  accredited 
may  be  found  on  pages  129  to  133  of  the  High  School  Manual 
issued  by  the  last  State  Teachers'  Association.  Copies  of  this 
book  may  be  had  free  of  charge  on  application  to  State  Superin- 
tendent R.  C.  Barrett,  Des  Moines. 

The  graduates  of  fully  accredited  schools  will  be  admitted 
to  the  studies  of  the  Freshman  Year,  except  English,  without 
examination. 

In  English  all  new  students  must  take  an  examination.  This 
examination  will  consist  of  two  parts:  First,  a  preliminary  test 
of  the  student's  facility  and  accuracy  of  expression  as  indicated 
by  an  essay  on  a  familiar  topic.  Those  who  pass  this  test  will 
be  assigned  to  English  III  on  trial  for  one  week,  which  consti- 
tutes the  second  part  of  the  examination.  During  this  week  each 
student  will  write  a  series  of  exercises  and  essays  designed  to 
test  his  general  preparation  in  English,  including  Spelling,  Punc- 
tuation, Grammar  and  Elementary  Rhetoric.  In  these  tests 
memorized  rules  and  definitions,  mere  theoretical  knowledge,  will 
count  for  little;  readiness  in  applying  rules  and  principles  is  the 
essential  thing.  At  the  end  of  these  tests  only  those  students 
who  have  shown  sufficient  preparation  will  be  permitted  to  go  on. 

Students  thus  admitted  will  take  review  work  in  algebra  dur- 
ing the  first  ten  days  of  the  term.  All  subjects  up  to  and  includ- 
ing quadratics  will  be  treated  and  the  ability  of  the  student  to 
demonstrate  principles  and  solve  examples  and  problems  will  be 
tested.  Satisfactory  examination  will  be  accepted  In  lieu  of  this 
review. 

At  the  close  of  this  review  students  will  be  assigned  to  such 
work  in  English  and  mathematics  as  the  professors  in  charge  of 
these  branches  shall  consider  them  fitted  to  undertake.  Credits 
in  these  branches  will  be  given  only  as  students  complete  the 
respective  courses  set  forth  in  the  detailed  statement  of  the  work 
of  these  departments.  A  review  of  one  week  in  plane  geometry 
will  be  given  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  term  and  assignments 
in  geometry  made  in  accordance  therewith.

HOW  TO  ENTER  THE  COLLEGE. 

Persons  who  desire  to  enter  the  College  as  new  students 
should   comply   with    the   following   directions: 

1.  Study  carefully  and  comply  with  the  "Requirements  of 
Admission."  Then  write  to  the  President,  asking  for  a  "Card 
of  Inquiry." 

2.  On  receiving  this  card,  write  an  answer  opposite  each 
question,  and  mail  the  card  to  the  President.  If  the  answers  you 
give  accord  with  the  "Requirements  for  Admission,"  a  card  of 
introduction  will  be  sent  you,  which  simply  entitles  you  to  admis- 
sion on  passing  the  examination,  or  giving  the  required  proof  of 
proficiency. 

3.  Information  regarding  board  and  rooms  can  be  secured 
by  writing  J.  F.  Cavell,  Custodian,  Ames,  Iowa. 

4.  When  you  arrive  at  the  opening  of  the  term  present  the 
"Card  of  Introduction''  at  the  President's  office.  You  will  there 
be  given  a  card  of  directions. 

5.  Students  who  do  rot  bring  certificates  of  proficiency  in 
the  studies  required  such  as  me9t  the  approval  of  the  examining 
committee  will  need  to  be  examined  here.  When  all  the  examin- 
ations are  completed,  and  your  standings  therein  are  marked  on 
your  examination  card,  return  it  to  the  President.  If  you  have 
passed  the  studies  require!  you  will  then  sign  the  Students' 
Record  Book  and  Contract  and  secure  a  card  of  classification, 
which  certifies  your  admission  to  the  College  and  assignment  to 
class  work. 


DIRECTIONS    TO   CANDIDATES   AND   STUDENTS.  47 

Your  name  will  be  entered  at  once  upon  the  official  class 
lists  and  will  be  included  in  the  roll  call  the  following  day.  You 
will  be  expected  to  attend  thereafter  every  recitation  of  the  term. 

STUDENTS'  EXPENSES  AND  EQUIPMENT. 

No  charge  is  made  for  tuition  to  Iowa  students.  To  those 
who  come  from  outside  the  state  $24.00  tuition  per  year  is 
charged. 

The  current  expenses  of  students  during  the  year  are  as 
follows: 

Every  student  entering  College  shall,  before  being  classified, 
pay  a — 

Janitor  fee  of $5.00 

In  Margaret  Hall  and  Creamery — 

Lighting,  heating  and  incidentals,  per  week $  .55 

Room  rent,  per  term 3.00 

*  Hospital  fee,  per  term 2.50 

In  the  Cottages — 

Fuel,  lighting  and  incidentals,  per  week $  .40 

Room  rent,  per  term 3.00 

*  Hospital  fee,  per  term 2.50 

As  security  for  the  payment  of  bills,  students  living  in  the 

College  buildings  are  required  to  deposit  with  the  Treas- 
urer     $10.00 

This  deposit  will  be  returned  on  final  settlement  at  the  close 
of  term. 

All  bills  for  each  month  must,  without  fail,  be  settled  at  the 
Treasurer's  office  by  the  second  Saturday  of  the  month  following. 

Students  using  laboratories  in  the  various  departments  of 
the  College  are  required  to  pay  a  laboratory  fee  at  the  beginning 
of  each  term  to  cover  expenses  of  breakage,  etc.,  thus  incurred 
and  the  professors  in  charge  require  the  Treasurer's  receipt  for 
such  fee  before  admitting  the  students  to  laboratory  practice. 

For  amounts  of  such  fees  see  department  courses. 

Students  purchasing  military  uniforms  will  deposit  $5.00  with 
the  merchant  tailor  at  the  time  measures  are  taken,  paying  the 
remainder  on  delivery. 

For  heating,  lighting,  cleaning  and  care  of  the  College  build- 
ings students  pay  less  than  the  items  actually  cost  the  institu- 
tion. Injury  to  College  property,  of  whatever  sort,  is  charged  to 
the  author,  when  known;  otherwise  to  the  section  or  to  the  entire 
body  of  students,  as  may  seem  just  in  the  given  case. 

*See  terms  of  Hospital  Department,  page  48. 


48  IOWA   STATE   COLLEGE 

Students  who  board  in  any  of  the  College  buildings  furnish 
their  own  bedding,  and  all  furniture  for  their  rooms,  excepting 
bedsteads,  washstands,  tables  and  wardrobes. 

Students  are  earnestly  advised  to  make  their  rooms  comfort- 
able and  cheerful.  Male  students  in  the  two  lower  classes,  not 
physically  disabled,  are  required  by  law  to  take  the  military  drill 
and  purchase  uniforms  therefor.  "Physical  disability"  must  be 
certified  to  by  the  College  Physician,  on  examination. 

Text  books  and  stationery  may  be  purchased  at  the  College 
Book  Store,  at  about  twenty-five  per  cent  below  the  average 
retail  price. 

COLLEGE      HOSPITAL. 

The  actual  sanitary  condition  of  the  College  is  excellent.  The 
buildings  are  situated  on  high  ground  with  good  natural  drainage. 
The  water  supply  is  exceptionally  pure  and  abundant. 

The  sewer  system  and  sewage  disposal  plant  are  the  best 
that  modern  sanitary  engineering  can  devise.  Nevertheless,  in 
this,  as  in  other  like  institutions,  whose  students  are  drawn 
from  a  wide  territory,  various  diseases  are  brought  here  by  the 
students  themselves.  In  order  to  control  epidemics  and  properly 
care  for  other  cases  of  illness  or  injury,  a  neat  and  commodious 
hospital  building  is  provided.  This  building  is  heated  by  fur- 
naces, lighted  by  gas,  and  has  perfect  sanitary  plumbing.  This 
hospital  is  under  the  charge  of  the  College  Physician  assisted  by 
a  professional  nurse  and  a  competent  housekeeper. 

The  expenses  of  the  hospital  are  defrayed  from  a  fund  accru- 
ing from  hospital  fees  paid  by  students. 

The  hospital  fee  insures  to  the  payer  thereof  medical  attend- 
ance, nursing  and  medicine  in  illness  or  accident  and  consultation 
and  medicine  for  minor  ailments,  in  accordance  with  the  regula- 
tions published  below. 

The  privileges  of  the  hospital  are  also  extended  to  students 
not  rooming  in  the  college  buildings,  provided,  1st,  that  no  calls 
shall  be  made  by  the  Physician  at  their  residence,  and  2nd,  that 
the  usual  hospital  fee  is  made  within  the  first  ten  days  of  the 
term.  The  hospital  has  proved  to  be  a  great  blessing  to  the 
students  and  the  insurance  is  placed  at  actual  cost. 

The  following  regulations  apply  to  the  privileges  of  the  hos- 
pital : 

1st.  The  hospital  fee  for  the  term  is  fixed  at  $2.50,  and  is 
required  of  all  students  living  in  College  buildings. 


DIRECTIONS    TO   CANDIDATES   AND   STUDENTS.  49 

2nd.  Students  entering  the  hospital  shall  he  charged  $3  per 
week  for  board,  fires  and  lights.  No  other  charges  on  these 
accounts  shall  be  made  by  the  College  during  the  time  the  student 
is  in  the  hospital. 

3rd.  For  any  time  in  excess  of  three  consecutive  weeks  per 
term  spent  in  the  hospital  an  additional  charge  above  that  men- 
tioned, shall  be  made  of  $4.00  per  week. 

4th.  In  case  a  special  nurse  or  physician  is  employed  the 
expense  shall  be  borne  by  the  particular  patient.  The  selection 
of  such  physician  or  nurse  to  be  approved  by  the  College  Physi- 
cian. 

5th.  Students  not  making  the  hospital  deposit  will  be  admit- 
ted to  all  the  privileges  of  the  hospital  allowed  students  making 
the  deposit  upon  the  basis  of  a  charge  of  $10.00  per  week. 

6th.  The  College  Physician  is  authorized  to  exclude  from  the 
college  dormitories  and  recitation  rooms  any  person  afflicted 
with  a  contagious  disease. 

7th.  The  privileges  of  the  hospital  shall  not  be  extended  to 
cases  of  small-pox. 

8th.  The  College  assumes  no  responsibility  whatever  and 
the  hospital  fee  of  $2.50  does  not  provide  for  medical  attendance, 
nurses,  medicine  or  other  expenses  incurred  in  treating  or  caring 
for  students  afflicted  with  small-pox. 

9th.  The  President  and  College  Physician  shall  require  of 
students  entering  College  a  certificate  of  a  reputable  physician 
showing  a  successful  vaccination. 

10th.  The  charges  named  are  based  upon  the  probable  actual 
cost  of  medical  attendance  and  hospital  service  and  the  fund 
created  will  be  carefully  devoted  to  those  purposes.  The  College 
san  not  assume  any  liability  beyond  the  extent  of  the  fund  so 
created. 

MANUAL     LABOR. 

SHOP    LABORATORY   AND   FIELD    PRACTICE. 

The  following  regulations  in  regard  to  manual  labor  have 
been  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Trustees: 

1.  The  manual  labor  of  students  is  divided  into  two  kinds, 
viz.:  Uninstructive  labor,  which  shall  be  paid  for  in  money,  and 
instructive  labor,  which  shall  be  compensated  by  the  instruction 
given  and  the  skill  acquired. 

2.  Uninstructive  labor  shall  comprise  all  the  operations  in 
the  workshop,  the  garden,  upon  the  farm  and  elsewhere,  in  which 


50  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

the  work  done  accrues  to  the  benefit  of  the  College,  and  not  to 
that  of  the  student.  Instructive  labor  shall  embrace  all  those 
operations  in  the  workshop,  museum,  laboratories,  veterinary 
hospital,  experimental  kitchen,  upon  the  farm,  garden  and  exper- 
imental stations,  in  which  the  sole  purpose  is  the  acquisition  of 
knowledge  and  skill. 

3.  Students  shall  engage  in  instructive  labor  in  the  presence 
and  under  the  instruction  of  the  professor  in  charge  according 
to  the  statement  made  in  each  of  the  courses  of  study. 

The  compensated  labor  furnished  by  the  Divisions  of  Agricul- 
ture, Veterinary  Medicine  and  of  Engineering,  is  given  by  each  to 
its  own  students,  and  is  eagerly  sought.  The  "details"  of  com- 
pensated labor  supplied  by  the  needs  of  the  various  departments 
are  given  to  the  most  faithful  and  meritorious  students  in  each 
department.  Uninstructive  labor  is  paid  for  according  to  its 
value  to  the  College,  but  no  student  should  expect  to  pay  the 
main  part  of  his  expenses  by  labor  while  here.  The  College 
cannot  furnish  the  work,  and  even  if  it  could,  the  student's  time 
is  chiefly  needed  for  study.  Still,  many  worthy  and  industrious 
students  pay  a  considerable  part  of  their  expenses  by  labor,  over 
$4,000  being  paid  out  by  the  College  thus  each  year  to  students 
and  post-graduate  assistants. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The  relations  of  our  college  buildings,  and  the  nature  of  the 
exercises,  complicated  as  they  are,  by  laboratory  work,  shop 
practice  and  labor,  make  order,  punctuality  and  systematic  effort 
indispensable.  This  institution,  therefore,  offers  no  inducement 
to  the  idler  or  self-indulgent.  All  who  are  too  independent  to 
submit  to  needful  authority,  or  too  reckless  to  accept  wholesome 
restraint,  are  not  advised  to  come.  The  discipline  of  the  College 
is  confined  mainly  to  sending  away  promptly  those  who  prove  on 
fair  trial  to  be  of  the  said  class. 

The  use  of  tobacco  by  students  on  the  college  premises  is 
forbidden.  Those  who  are  already  so  addicted  to  its  use  that 
they  cannot  cheerfully  submit  to  this  regulation  are  advised  not 
to  come.  Of  course  the  use  of  intoxicating  beverages  and  of 
profane  and  obscene  language  is  forbidden. 

PUBLIC     WORSHIP. 
Officers  and  students  gather  daily  in  the  chapel  at  11:45  a.  m., 
for  public  worship.     On  Sunday  morning  at  10:45  a  discourse  is 
given  in  the  chapel  by  a  clergyman  invited  for  the  occasion.     The 


DIRECTIONS    TO   CANDIDATES    AND   STUDENTS.  51 

object  of  these  services  is  to  emphasize  and  enforce  the  principles 
of  morality  and  of  the  Christian  religion.  Being  a  state  institu- 
tion we  give  the  utmost  freedom  to  all  creeds  and  forms  of  belief, 
avoiding  the  controversies  of  sectarianism. 

The  faculty  requires  on  Sundays  such  conduct  and  decorum 
in  and  about  the  college  buildings  as  befit  the  observance  of  the 
Sabbath. 

RELIGIOUS     ASSOCIATIONS. 

The  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations 
of  the  College  are  voluntary  organizations,  composed  of  students 
and  members  of  the  faculty.  The  membership  is  large.  The 
Sunday  school,  Bible  classes  and  prayer  meetings  are  under  their 
direction,  and  are  well  attended  and  profitable.  This  voluntary 
Christian  influence  in  the  College  is  strong  and  healthfuL 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES. 

Seven  literary  societies  held  their  meetings  each  Friday 
evening,  a  time  kept  free  from  other  college  functions.  These 
societies  supplement  the  literary  work  of  the  College,  and  besides 
provide  a  training  in  appearing  before  an  audience  such  as  every 
college  graduate  needs,  a  training  that  is  not  secured  in  the 
class  room.  Every  student  is  advised  to  join  one  of  these  socie- 
ties. The  societies  collectively  constitute  the  Oratorical  Associa- 
tion, whose  duty  it  is  to  provide  for  four  general  programs  each 
year;  an  oratorical  contest  in  the  fall  term,  a  declamatory  contest 
in  the  spring  term,  and  a  joint  program  at  the  beginning  of  each 
term.  Six  of  the  societies  constitute  the  I.  S.  C.  Debating  League, 
an  organization  which  arranges  for  an  inter-society  debate  each 
term  and  an  annual  inter-collegiate  debate  with  the  Iowa  State 
Normal  School.  The  inter-society  debate  calls  out  twenty-four 
debaters  each  term,  four  from  each  society,  two  of  whom  main- 
tain the  affirmative  and  two  the  negative  of  a  given  question, 
against  opposing  teams  from  other  societies. 

THE     MOORE     PRIZE     FUND. 

To  Mr.  S.  L.  Moore,  of  Boone,  the  College  is  indebted  this 
year  for  a  prize  fund  of  one  hundred  dollars,  which  has  been 
divided  equally  between  the  Oratorical  Association  and  the 
Debating  League. 


52  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

COURSES  OF   STUDY. 

Courses  of  study   leading  to  the   following  degrees   are   offered: 

1.  The  course  in  Agronomy. 

2.  The  course  in  Dairying. 

3.  The  course  in  Animal  Husbandry. 

4.  The  course  in  Horticulture. 

Each  of  the  foregoing  is  a  four  years'  course  leading  to  the 
degree  of  Bachelor  of  Scientific  Agriculture,   (B.  S.  A.). 

For  the  one  year  course  in  Dairying  certificates  properly  indi- 
cating the  completion  of  certain  studies  will  be  given. 

SPECIAL  LINES  OF  STUDY. 

Students  taking  special  work  in  any  of  the  College  courses 
must  be  at  least  twenty  years  of  age,  must  give  good  and  suffi- 
cient reason  for  desiring  such  special  classification  and  must 
furnish  satisfactory  evidence  that  they  are  thoroughly  prepared 
to  pursue  the  work  chosen.  Permission  to  take  such  special

58  IOWA    STATE   COLLEGE 

COURSES  OF  STUDY 

The  instruction  in  agriculture  is  divided  into  the  following 

departments: 

I.  Department  of  Agronomy. 

II.  Department  of  Dairying. 

III.  Department  of  Animal  Husbandry. 

IV.  Department  of  Horticulture. 

V.     Department  of  Agricultural  Chemistry. 

The  courses  in  these  several  departments  unite  in  making  a 
foundation  for  the  student  upon  which  he  can  build  a  successful 
career  as  a  farmer,  or  develop  into  a  specialist  in  the  many 
possible  lines  that  are  branches  of  the  farming  industry.  The 
studies  pursued  in  each  department  are  equally  recognized  as 
being  necessary  to  fully  equip  the  student  for  the  highest  order 
of  work  in  any  division  of  agriculture,  and  the  only  difference 
between  the  shorter  and  the  longer  courses  is  due  to  the  degree 
to  which  the  student  wishes  to  specialize  and  develop  himself 
for  a  single  line  of  work.  The  farm  as  it  is  commonly  conducted 
is  a  union  of  many  divisions  of  industry  and  the  shorter  course 
confines  itself  to  laying  a  foundation  that  will  secure  success  in 
ali  of  these,  while  the  longer  course  seeks  to  direct  the  student 
into  that  line  which  will  call  forth  and  centralize  his  special 
ability  and  at  the  same  time  enable  him  to  meet  the  variety  of 
conditions  that  under  all  circumstances  surround  a  successful 
life. 

Past  experience  with  the  courses  of  these  departments  shows 
that  they  have  met  with  more  than  the  usual  success  in  attaining 
their  objects;  as  the  shorter  course  has  been  productive  of  many 
successful  farmers,  and  the  longer  course  has  been  unusually 
successful  in  developing  better  farmers  and  more  capable  men  in 
practical  life  and  also  in  securing  for  our  graduates  prominent 
positions  in  the  agricultural  faculties  of  other  colleges. 

In  practical  agriculture,  a  field  unsurpassed  by  any  other 
college  in  the  United  States  is  open  to  the  students.  The  nation- 
al government  gives  to  the  college  about  thirty-five  thousand  dol- 
lars annually  for  original  experimentation  and  instruction  in 
agriculture  and  the  sciences  related  to  the  industries.  This 
enables  the  college  authorities  to  make  the  fields  and  the  barns 
veritable  laboratories  of  extensive  and  most  practical  investiga- 
tion and  observation.     The  range  is  from  the  soil  that  produces, 


DIVISION    OF    A.GRICULT1   R]  59 

through  all  of  its  natural  characteristics,  to  whatever  is  grown 
in  agriculture  from  germ  to  finish.  A  live  stock  room  is  set 
apart  in  Agricultural  Hall  in  connection  with  one  of  the  best 
recitation  rooms,  into  which  live  animals  are  brought  in  the 
presence  of  the  teacher  and  the  class  for  careful  study  and  inti- 
mate knowledge,  and  a  commodious,  well-lighted  stock  judging 
pavilion  has  been  constructed  especially  for  this  work.  An  ex- 
perimental barn  with  the  recent  and  most  approved  methods  of 
stalls,  feeding  and  ventilation,  is  devoted  exclusively  to  the 
original  work  of  animal  husbandry.  This  work  ranges  over  all 
the  questions  of  breeding  and  maturing  domestic  animals. 

The  agricultural  school  is  designed  to  teach  the  sciences 
that  underlie  practical  agriculture,  and  sufficient  English  liter- 
ature, mathematics,  history,  and  other  supplementary  studies 
to  sustain  both  scientific  and  practical  agriculture  and  to  de- 
velop the  agricultural  students  to  the  intellectual  level  of  the 
educated  in  any  profession.  Special  attention  is  given  to  the 
improved  methods  in  all  of  the  various  operations  of  farming, 
farm  building,  using  tools  and  machinery,  and  management  of 
all  kinds  of  stock  and  crops.  The  instruction  of  this  department 
embraces  principles  and  practice  of  agriculture. 

The  farm  consists  of  800  acres  of  rolling  prairies,  bottom, 
and  woodland,  and  is  stocked  with  good  representatives  of  six 
breeds  of  horses,  six  breeds  of  cattle,  seven  breeds  of  sheep,  and 
six  breeds  of  hogs.  These  animals  are  used  in  class  illustration 
and  for  the  various  experiments  in  breeding  and  feeding  for 
milk,  meat,  wool,  growth  and  maintenance,  conducted  by  the 
Experiment  Station  as  a  department  of  the  College.  All  the  crops 
of  the  farm  are  grown  for  some  educational  purpose;  all  the 
animals  are  fed  by  rule  and  system,  and  the  result  of  their 
management  reported  upon,  and  used  in  class  work.  Labor  is 
not  compulsory,  but  students  in  the  agricultural  course  are  given 
work  that  is  educational  and  parallel  with  their  studies.  Some 
students  pay  for  their  board  by  work  in  the  mornings  and  even- 
ings. Under  direction  of  the  professor  in  charge,  students  as- 
sist in  conducting  experiments  in  lines  related  to  their  studies.

SHORT  COURSE  IN  CORN  JUDGING,  1904. 
January  4  to  16. 

During  the  winter  vacation  a  two  weeks'  course  in  corn 
judging  will  be  given.  This  course  is  planned  with  special 
reference  to  supplying  the  great  demand  for  work  along  this  line 
by  those  who  are  unable  to  take  advantage  of  the  work  in  the 
regular  College  course.  A  two  story  corn  and  stock  judging 
pavilion  is  now  being  erected  for  this  work.  Instruction  will  be 
given  in  the  methods  of  selecting,  storing,  purchasing,  testing, 
and  preparation  of  seed  corn  for  planting.  Instruction  will  also  be 
given  in  the  methods  of  cultivation,  characteristics,  and  adapta- 
bility of  different  varieties  to  various  sections  of  the  state.  A 
comparison  of  the  efficiency  of  all  the  different  makes  of  planters 
and  cultivators  will  be  made. 

Samples  of  all  the  leading  varieties  of  corn  from  the  corn 
breeders  of  this  and  other  states  will  be  on  exhibition  and  will  be 
used  for  corn  judging  purposes.  This  immense  collection  of  corn 
representing  every  county  in  the  state  will  afford  an  unusual 
opportunity  to  compare  the  different  varieties  and  study  their 
characteristics.  Premiums  amounting  to  over  $2,400.00  will  be 
offered  for  the  best  corn  exhibited  by  members  of  the  Corn 
Growers'  Association  and  for  those  doing  the  best  work  in  corn 
judging.  Those  wishing  to  become  corn  judges,  qualified  to  judge 
corn  at  county  fairs  and  expositions  will  have  an  opportunity  at 
this  corn  school  to  prepare  themselves  for  the  work.  An  exam- 
ination will  be  held  at  the  close  of  the  school  and  corn  judging 
certificates  will  be  issued  by  the  Corn  Growers'  Association  to 
those  who  prove  themselves  proficient.  To  partially  cover  the 
expense  of  additional  instructors  and  facilities  for  judging  and 
demonstration  a  '^Ition  fee  of  $2.00  will  be  charged  but  one  fee 
will  cover  the  instruction  in  both  stock  and  grain  judging. 

The  work  during  this  course  will  be  so  arranged  that  the 
students'  time  will  be  divided  equally  between  corn  and  stock 
judging.

DEPARTMENT    OF    DAIRYING. 

GEO.  L.   M'KAY,  PROFESSOR. 

F.  W.  BOUSKA,  INSTRUCTOR  IN  DAIRY  BACTERIOLOGY. 

C.    LARSON    AND   DE    LA    SHELDON,    INSTRUCTORS. 

The  magnitude  and  rapidly  changing  conditions  of  the  dairy 
industry  render  a  higher  degree  of  skill  and  intelligence  in  this 
field  imperative.  No  branch  of  education  has  proven  more  pop- 
ular or  productive  of  better  results  than  the  instruction  furnished 
in  the  economical  production  of  a  superior  class  of  dairy  products. 
From  the  fertile  farming  lands  of  the  Central  West  annually  come 
one  hundred  or  more  young  men  to  be  trained  in  special  work  in 
our  dairy  school.  That  these  young  men  become  leaders  wher- 
ever they  take  up  work  is  shown  by  the  responsible  positions  they 
are  holding  at  high  salaries  in  dairy  communities  everywhere, 
and  the  many  prizes  won  in  state  and  national  conventions.  Even 
the  city  milk  supply  business  is  calling  for  scientifically  trained 
men  who  thoroughly  understand  the  essential  regulations  for 
proper  sanitation  and  cleanliness,  pasteurization  and  sterilization. 

In  order  to  meet  the  demands  of  such  instruction  the  Dairy 
School  provides  two  sixteen  weeks  courses;  one  for  butter  and  one 
for  cheese  making,  beginning  with  the  regular  college  terms,  and 
a  one  year  course  beginning  with  the  college  year.  Also  a  two 
weeks  course  in  sarters  and  cream  ripening,  especially  designed 
for  experienced  makers,  commencing  January  4,  1904. 

The  College  Creamery  is  in  operation  the  year  round.  The 
work  is  conducted  on  a  practical  and  commercial  scale  as  well  as 
for  scientific  investigation  and  instruction.  The  product  made 
invariably  brings  the  highest  quotations  and  has  attained  an 
enviable  reputation  in  the  markets  of  the  United  States  and 
England. 

The  facilities  for  teaching  dairying  in  a  thoroughly  practical 
and  scientific  manner  are  unexcelled.  The  building  is  exception- 
ally well  equipped  for  practical  work  as  well  as  scientific  instruc- 
tion and  investigation.  It  is  more  than  a  "dairy  building"  as  the 
term  is  generally  understood.  It  is  a  practical  working  creamery 
and  cheese  factory,  in  operation  every  work  day  in  the  year. 
During  the  summer  season  from  five  to  ten  thousand  pounds  of 
milk  are  taken  in  daily  and  manufactured  into  butter  and  cheese; 
during  the  winter  somewhat  less.     The  milk  is  purchased  from 


DIVISION   OF    AGRICULTURE  77 

farmers  living  in  the  vicinity  of  the  College  and  they  are  paid  for 
it  according  to  its  merits,  based  not  only  on  butter  fat  determined 
by  the  Babcock  test,  but  upon  inspection  of  its  cleanliness,  free- 
dom from  all  taints,  objectionable  odors  and  other  general  qual- 
ities. A  bacteriological  laboratory,  forms  facilities  for  instruction 
and  investigation  in  this  important  feature  of  the  subject. 

The  student  becomes  familiar  with  everything  connected  with 
the  management  of  a  commercial  creamery,  and  meets  every 
problem  that  is  likely  to  confront  him  in  his  afterwork.  All 
leading  types  of  separators  are  used  in  the  dairy  building  and  the 
most  approved  machinery  is  used  throughout  by  the  students. 

The  work  done  in  dairying  by  the  students  in  the  four  years 
course  in  agriculture  is  outlined  in  the  course  of  study.  They 
not  only  become  familiar  with  the  work  in  the  creamery,  the 
cheese  factory  and  the  private  dairy,  but  study  the  underlying 
principles  of  the  whole  subject  in  the  broadest  sense.  The  College 
dairy  herd,  consisting  of  thirty  or  forty  cows,  regularly  in  milk, 
affords  opportunity  for  the  study  of  dairy  as  well  as  creamery 
problems.  These  cows  are  milked  and  cared  for  mainly  by  student 
help  under  the  direction  of  instructors. 

During  the  latter  part  of  the  senior  year  those  students  who 
have  shown  themselves  capable,  are  permitted  to  spend  a  portion 
of  their  time  in  the  laboratory  in  original  work,  and  meritorious 
work  of  this  kind  is  reported  in  the  bulletins  of  the  Experiment 
Station. 

The  courses  in  dairying  were  established  for  the  benefit  of 
those  who  were  already  engaged  in  the  business,  either  on  the 
farm  or  in  the  creamery  or  factory,  and  for  this  reason  a  very 
large  portion  of  the  time  is  devoted  to  practical  work  in  the  dairy 
building. 

Students  in  these  courses  are  taught  everything  connected 
with  practical  work,  from  weighing  the  milk  brought  in  by  the 
different  patrons  and  testing  the  same,  to  running  the  engine, 
scrubbing  the  floors  and  shipping  the  butter.  The  aim  is  to  teach 
not  only  how  to  do  all  the  work  incident  to  a  business  of  this 
kind,  but  also  why, — the  reason, — the  work  should  be  done  in  the 
manner  taught.  The  studies,  other  than  dairying  proper,  which 
appear  in  the  courses  outlined  are  such  as  are  necessary  to  a 
correct  understanding  of  the  principles  involved,  and  all  students 
entering  these  courses  are  required  to  attend  them  regularly. 


78  IOWA   STATE  COLLEGE 

Students  in  all  of  the  Dairy  and  Creamery  work  are  required 
to  provide  themselves  with  white  suits,  keep  them  clean  and  in 
good  order. 

ONE  YEAR  COURSE  IN  DAIRYING. 

The  one  year  course  in  dairying  is  designed  to  meet  the  wants 
of  those  who  wish  to  acquire  an  intimate  knowledge  of  practical 
dairy  methods  and  the  underlying  principles  as  well  as  to  the 
sciences  related  thereto.  This  course  runs  through  one  college 
year  beginning  in  January  and  ending  in  December.  Students 
completing  this  course  will  receive  certificates,  but  the  right  is 
reserved  to  withhold  such  certificates  until  satisfactory  evidence 
is  furnished  of  ability  to  successfully  manage  commercial  cream- 
eries or  other  large  dairy  establishments  for  at  least  one  year. 
No  other  certificates  will  be  given  for  any  course  in  dairying 
except  to  students  entitled  to  a  diploma  for  the  four  years'  course 
in  Agriculture.  (See  note  at  bottom  of  page).  Following  is  the

THE    SUMMER    SCHOOL    IN    DAIRYING. 

While  we  earnestly  advise  those  who  expect  to  work  in  dairy 
lines,  either  on  the  farm  or  in  the  creamery  or  factory  to  take 
the  one  year  course  in  Dairying  as  outlined  above  we  realize  that 
there  are  many  who  for  various  reasons  are  unable  to  do  this. 
Believing  that  a  state  institution  should  offer  every  possible  en- 
couragement to  those  who  desire  to  fit  themselves  to  do  their 
chosen  work  in  the  best  manner,  a  Summer  School  in  Dairying  is 
thrown  open  to  students.  This  school  begins  in  January  and 
continues  sixteen  weeks.  The  same  studies  are  pursued  in  this 
as  in  the  One  Year  Course: 

Dairy  Practice,  6  half  days  per  week. —  (Dairy  I.) 

Buttermaking,  16  Lectures. —  (Dairy  II.) 

Milk  Testing,  16  Lectures,-  (  Dairy  111.) 

Dairy  Machinery,  16  Lectures. —  (Dairy  IV.) 

Book-keeping,  16  Lectures. —  (Dairy  V.) 

Bacteriology  of  Milk,  20  Lectures. —  (Dairy  VI.) 

Feeding  and  Judging  Dairy  Stock,  32  Lectures. —  (Dairy  VII.) 

TWO  WEEKS  COURSE  IN  DAIRYING. 

The  prominent  rank  attained  by  students  of  the  Iowa  Dairy 
School  in  state  and  national  contests  has  led  to  a  demand  for 
special  instruction.  The  short  course  will  begin  January  4,  1904, 
and  continue  for  two  weeks;  the  subjects  that  will  receive  special 
attention  during  this  time  are:  (Preparation  of  commercial 
and  natural  starters,  ripening  of  cream,  judging  and  scoring  of 
cream  and  butter  and  how  best  to  treat  the  hand  separator 
cream).  This  latter  subject  was  a  special  feature  of  our  last 
year's  course.  Hand  separator  cream  will  be  shipped  in  to  the 
College  Creamery  during  this  course  and  treated  in  different  ways 
with  a  view  of  making  the  best  possible  quality  of  butter  from  a 
given  quality  of  cream.  (No  one  but  experienced  butermakers 
are  advised  to  take  this  course.  The  fees  for  this  course  will  be 
$12.00,  which  is  intended  to  cover  expenses  involved  in  securing 
extra  instructors,  and  material  for  the  course). 

The  scope  of  the  work  given  in  the  Department  of  Dairying 
is  set  forth  in  the  following  statements: 

Course  I. — Dairy  Practice. — This  includes  from  five  to  seven 
hours  of  practical  work  in  the  creamery  room  during  the  first 
term  of  the  One  Year  Course.  This  includes  buttermaking  with 
Mr.  Sheldon  and  laboratory  work  in  milk  testing  with  Mr.  Larson.

a  student  to  superintend  or  manage  any  large  factory  or  dairy 
establishment.  The  course  consists  of  one  lecture  per  week,  and 
work  in  the  creamery  equivalent  to  two  laboratory  periods  per 
week.  The  class  work  will  include  such  subjects  as  the  economy 
in  the  construction  of  creameries,  drainage  and  ventilation  of  fac- 
tories, how  to  treat  the  skim  milk  and  other  by-products  in  order 
to  get  the  best  economic  results.  It  is  advisable  for  the  student 
to  put  in  the  laboratory  work  during  vacation  or  some  other  time 
when  the  work  can  be  done  during  consecutive  days.  Fourth 
year.     Second  Term.     Three  hours  study. 

Course  XXI. — Preparation  of  Ice  Cream  and  Ices. — This 
course  consists  of  lectures  and  laboratory  work  both.  They  are 
combined  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  the  student  the  best  under- 
standing possible  concerning  the  preparation  of  ice  cream,  sher- 
bets and  ices,  as  made  on  a  private  and  commercial  scale.  Fourth 
year.     Second  Term.     One  hour  study. 

Course  XXII. — Thesis. —  The  work  on  thesis  must  be  original 
work  on  some  dairy  subject.  The  students  should  consult  the 
professor  in  charge  concerning  their  subject  before  or  after  the 
beginning  of  the  senior  year.  The  bacterial  and  chemical  labora- 
tory facilities  in  connection  with  the  creamery  plant  offer  special 
inducements  to  the  students  for  doing  original  work.  Frequently 
arrangements  can  be  made  with  this  department  for  co-operation 
in  working  out  important  subjects  and  if  the  work  is  deemed 
meritorious,  will  be  published  in  bulletin  form.  The  thesis  work 
must  represent  time  equivalent  to  a  two  hours'  study  during  the 
second  term  of  the  senior  year.     Prof.  G.  L.  McKay. 

GRADUATE  COURSES  IN  DAIRYING. 

This  department  is  especially  equipped  to  offer  graduate  work 
to  advanced  students  in  dairying.  In  connection  with  the  cream- 
ery, which  is  in  operation  the  whole  year  around,  there  is  in  the 
same  building  a  well  equipped  laboratory  in  dairy  chemistry  as 
well  as  in  dairy  bacteriology.  This  offers  special  inducements 
for  original  work  to  students  in  dairying  along  the  following 
lines: 

(a) — Dairy  Bacteriology. — In  this  course  the  student  can 
either  pursue  work  which   is  valuable  chiefly   from  a   scientific 


DIVISION    OF    AGRICULTURE  S7 

standpoint,  or  he  can  take  up  the  work  as  it  relates  to  some 
practical  subject  in  the  creamery  industry.  Subjects,  as  the  effect 
of  certain  species  of  bacteria  in  milk,  cream  and  washwater,  upon 
the  quality  of  butter;  the  effect  of  overripe  and  unripe  cream 
and  starters  upon  the  bacterial  flora  of  the  same;  and  the  kind 
of  bacteria  that  causes  butter  to  go  "off"  in  flavor;  are  of  peculiar 
interest  for  investigation  to  dairymen.  Special  facilities  for  this 
kind  of  work  are  offered. 

(b) — Dairy  Research.— The  research  laboratory  in  the  cream- 
fry  building  has  recently  been  equipped  with  a  view  of  doing 
special  work  along  the  line  of  dairy  chemistry-  Investigations 
on  subjects,  as  the  determination  of  total  overrun;  the  effects  of 
the  various  amounts  of  curds,  moisture,  fat  and  salt  upon  the 
quality  and  keeping  quality  of  butter;  the  conditions  governing 
the  incorporation  of  these  components  of  butter  and  the  varia- 
tion in  the  composition  of  milk,  butter  and  butter  fat,  during 
the  different  seasons  of  the  year,  are  made  special  features  of 
this  course. 

(c) — Factory  Management. — This  study  embodies  the  condi- 
tions which  are  to  be  considered  in  order  to  obtain  the  greatest 
possible  degree  of  economy  in  the  operation  of  a  large  dairy  farm 
or  some  large  factory.  How  to  obtain  the  best  quality  as  well  as 
the  greatest  quantity  of  the  special  product  manufactured;  and 
how  to  avoid  the  many  leaks  so  incidental  to  creamery  manage- 
ment are  problems  that  are  taken  up  in  this  course  in  a  thorough, 
practical  ana  systematic  way. 

(d) — Cheese  Making. — In  this  course  we  offer  advanced  work 
in  the  manufacture  of  Cheddar  cheese  as  well  as  in  the  manu- 
facture of  the  different  kinds  of  fancy  cheese.  The  chemical  as 
well  as  the  bacterial  laboratory  are  open  for  research  work  to 
students  pursuing  work  in  this  course.  The  college  creamery 
building  has  rooms  and  special  facilities  for  the  different  steps  in 
the  manufacture  and  curing  of  cheese. 

(e) — Milk  Production. — Under  this  heading  such  subjects  as 
the  greatest  economic  production  of  milk,  with  special  reference 
to  the  individuality  of  cows;  the  effects  of  certain  feeds  upon  the 
quality  of  butter  and  cheese;  and  the  environmental  conditions 
affecting  the  quantity  and  quality,  are  included.  This  work  is 
facilitated  by  reason  of  having  in  connection  a  large  herd  of 
cows.  By  the  co-operation  of  the  dairy  and  animal  husbandry 
departments,  this  work  can  be  pursued  in  a  most  practical  way.

DEPARTMENT  OF  ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY 

WILLARD  J.   KENNEDY,   PROFESSOK. 

\V.    J.    RUTHERFORD,    ASSISTANT    PROFESSOR 

WAYNE    DINSMORE,    INSTRUCTOR 

N.    C.     REW,    GRADUATE    ASSISTANT. 

The  department  of  Animal  Husbandry  stands  for  all  lines  of 
work  which  pertain  to  the  judging,  selecting,  breeding,  feeding, 
development,  and  care  and  management  of  the  various  breeds 
and  classes  of  domesticated  animals.  Recognizing  the  importance 
of  the  live  stock  industry  to  the  welfare  of  the  state  and,  on 
account  of  the  unusual  quest  from  students  for  instruction  along 
this  line,  nothing  within  our  power  has  been  left  undone  to  make 
the  equipment  for  instruction  purposes  complete  in  every  detail. 

The  herds  and  flocks  were  very  carefully  established  at  an 
early  date.  From  time  to  time  valuable  additions  in  keeping 
with  modern  ideas  have  been  made  until,  at  the  present  time, 
almost  every  recognized  market  class  of  animal  and  good  repre- 
sentatives of  all  the  recognized  breeds  are  available  for  student 
use.  An  equipment  of  this  kind  places  us  in  a  position  to  do 
work  along  animal  husbandry  lines  which  cannot  be  accom- 
plished in  those  institutions  where  proper  specimens  of  stock 
are  not  obtainable.  We  are  firmly  convinced  that  there  is  but 
one  way  to  make  a  young  man  a  proficient  judge  of  live  stock,  and 
that  is  by  training  his  eye.  In  all  of  the  lecture  and  laboratory 
work  outlined  in  our  courses  the  work  is  demonstrated  by  che 
use  of  living  specimens. 

The  offices  and  lecture  rooms  of  the  department  are  located 
on  the  first  floor  of  Agricultural  Hall.  The  museum,  which  con- 
tains a  complete  assortment  of  the  various  kinds  of  wools,  woolen 
materials,  animal  by-products,  etc.,  is  located  on  the  third  floor 
of  the  same  building. 

The  judging  pavilions  are  located  near  the  barns.  In  this 
respect  we  are  most  fortunate  in  having  two  excellent  commod- 
ious judging  pavilions.  This  allows  us  to  divide  our  classes, 
which  have  in  the  past  been  unusually  large,  into  many  sections, 
thus  affording  an  excellent  opportunity  for  individual  work. 
These  buildings  are  well  lighted  and  heated,  and  are  arranged  in 
every  way  for  convenience  and  comfort  on  the  part  of  those  who 
take  the  work. 

An  excellent  collection  of  horses  representing  all  the  market 
classes  and  breeds  of  both  light  and  heavy  types  is  maintained  for 


96  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

instruction  work.  Among  these  are  good  representatives  of  the 
Shires,  Percherons,  Clydesdales,  French  coachers,  Hackneys, 
Standard  breds,  and  the  American  Saddle  horse.  Some  of  the 
horses  are  imported  while  the  others  have  been  selected  with 
much  care  from  the  best  breeders  on  the  continent. 

Over  two  hundred  head  of  cattle,  representing  all  the  leading 
beef,  dual  purpose,  and  dairy  breeds  are  maintained  on  the  farm. 
Complete  breeding  herds  of  most  of  the  breeds  are  kept.  A  large 
herd  of  Galloway  cows  are  kept  for  cross  breeding  purposes  used 
in  the  production  of  blue  greys.  An  excellent  collection  of  steers, 
representing  the  very  highest  type  of  a  fat  steer,  and  all  the 
other  grades  and  classes  to  be  found  on  our  leading  markets  down 
to  the  very  lowest  grades,  are  always  available  for  class  work. 
This  affords  our  students  an  excellent  opportunity  to  study  the 
market  demands  and  to  know  what  constitutes  each  class,  also 
why  there  is  such  a  wide  margin  in  the  prices  paid  for  cattle  by 
the  packing  house  man. 

The  equipment  of  the  sheep  department  is  especially  strong, 
constituting  over  two  hundred  head,  containing  good  representa- 
tives of  the  mutton  and  wool  types  and  typical  specimens  of  all 
the  leading  breeds.  Eight  distinct  breeds,  which  have  been  care- 
fully selected  to  represent  the  type  and  characteristics  of  each 
breed  both  in  regard  to  their  mutton  form  and  wool  bearing 
qualities,  are  always  available  for  class  room  work.  In  addition 
to  the  breeding  flocks  we  always  have  a  choice  collection  of  fat 
wethers  which  afford  an  excellent  opportunity  for  the  student  to 
familiarize  himself  with  the  highest  type  of  a  finished  mutton 
sheep. 

In  the  swine  department,  representatives  of  six  breeds  are 
maintained,  including  the  best  American  as  well  as  the  leading 
British  varieties.  As  in  the  other  departments,  the  aim  in  this  has 
been  to  keep  in  touch  with  the  modern  ideas  of  the  leading 
breeders,  both  in  regard  to  breeding  and  type  of  the  animals  in 
these  breeds.  At  all  seasons  of  the  year  there  is  more  or  less 
feeding  of  market  stock  being  done  on  the  farm  and  in  connection 
with  the  Experiment  Station,  so  that  excellent  material  is  always 
available  for  instruction  purposes  regarding  the  qualities  that 
add  to  the  value  of  stock  for  the  ordinary  market.  Having  pure 
bred  representatives  in  addition,  it  is  easy  to  inform  the  student 
in  a  practical  way  on  the  finer  points  of  color,  type,  and  other 
characteristics  that  relate  to  the  pure  bred  classes  of  stock.

To  further  assist  in  this  work,  the  herd  books  of  the  different 
American  and  foreign  registry  associations  are  being  constantly 
added  to  the  library.  Through  these  the  student  is  not  only 
enabled  to  inform  himself  in  regard  to  pedigrees,  but  he  is  also 
enabled  through  them  to  study  the  different  scales  of  points  which 
the  breeders  have  adopted  as  representing  the  highest  type  of 
the  breeds.  Other  features  of  the  equipment  include  photographs 
and  charts  utilized  in  the  lecture  room  where  it  is  not  possible  to 
make  suitable  representation  with  the  living  animals.  It  is  the 
aim  of  the  department  to  illustrate  all  lines  of  instruction  with 
living  representatives.  The  abundant  material  available  from 
the  herds  and  flocks  is  freely  drawn  upon  and  used  extensively 
in  all  lectures  and  score  card  practice.  By  means  of  score  cards, 
prepared  by  the  department,  the  students  are  brought  in  close 
contact  with  the  animals  and  through  them  are  informed  on  the 
points  of  market  merit  desirable  in  ordinary  stock;  while  later 
the  use  of  the  official  scale  of  points  for  the  different  breeds  in  a 
similar  way,  makes  them  skillful  in  judging  representatives  of 
the  different  breeds. 

As  soon  as  the  student  is  familiar  with  the  use  of  the  score 
card,  comparison  juuging  is  introduced.  In  comparison  judging 
from  four  to  six  animals  are  used,  and  each  student  is  required  to 
place  all  the  animals  in  order  of  merit,  and  write  down  clearly 
and  concisely  on  a  blank  folder,  prepared  especially  for  this  work, 
full  reasons  for  making  his  awards.  This  kind  of  work  teaches 
the  student  to  compare  animals  and  to  balance  the  weak  and 
strong  points  of  each  in  making  his  final  awards.  As  soon  as  the 
student  demonstrates  his  ability  to  place  classes  well,  herd  groups 
and  sweepstake  classes  are  introduced  during  his  Senior  year's 
work.  This  kind  of  work  is  in  accordance  with  the  most  difficult 
judging  done  at  our  leading  state  fairs  and  international  exposi- 
tions. As  soon  as  the  student  shows  that  he  possesses  the  quali- 
fications needed  to  successfully  judge  stock  in  the  show  ring,  he  is 
sent  out  in  answer  to  the  many  requests  from  the  secretaries  to 
judge  various  classes  of  stock  at  county  fairs.  This,  in  connection 
with  his  college  work,  results  in  crystallizing  the  lessons  learned 
in  the  class  room.

bandry: 

Course  I. — Market  Types — Cattle  and  Sheep — First  Term.

SPECIAL  COURSES. 

Students  desiring  shorter  courses  of  study  will  be  permitted 
to  take  up  special  courses  in  any  line  of  work  offered  providing 
that  they  comply  with  the  full  requirements  for  admission  to 
short  course  work  as  outlined  elsewhere  in  this  catalog.  They 
must  also  have  credits  for  all  necessary  work  preparatory  to 
the  taking  of  such  courses  as  are  demanded  of  the  regular  four 
year  men. 

WINTER   COURSE    IN    STOCK  JUDGING. 

In  response  to  a  widespread  demand  for  special  short  course 
instruction  in  the  judging  and  feeding  of  animals  a  two  weeks' 
course  has  been  established  during  the  winter  vacation.  This 
course  will  begin  January  4,  1904,  and  continue  for  two  weeks 
and  will  be  devoted  exclusively  to  the  judging  and  score  card 
practice  with  horses,  cattle,  sheep,  and  hogs,  and  lectures  on 
feeding  the   same. 

In  this  work  special  attention  will  be  given  to  the  selection 
of  animals  best  suited  for  feeding  purposes.  Good  specimens 
of  the  highest  type  of  fat  steer  and  ideal  representatives  of  all 
the  various  breeds  will  be  used  for  class  work.  At  the  conclu- 
sion of  the  cattle  work  a  slaughter  test  and  block  demonstra- 
tion of  the  various  market  types  of  steers  will  be  conducted  under 
the  supervision  of  John  Gosling,  Kansas  City,  Missouri.  This 
course  is  intended  especially  for  the  man  on  the  farm  who  can- 
not avail  himself  of  the  opportunity  to  take  a  complete  course. 

A  special  course  in  corn  judging  will  be  given  at  the  same 
time  and  the  work  will  be  so  arranged  that  all  those  present 
may  take  both  lines  of  work. 


102  IOWA   STATE   COLLEGE 

To  partially  cover  the  expense  of  securing  additional  help 
and  stock  for  demonstration  a  tuition  fee  of  $2.00  will  be  charged 
for  admission  to  this  course,  but  one  fee  will  cover  the  instruction 
in  both  grain  and  stock  judging. 

CLAY,  ROBINSON  &   CO.  FELLOWSHIP  PRIZES. 

Clay,  Robinson  &  Co.,  Live  Stock  Commission  Merchants, 
Union  Stock  Yards,  Chicago,  offer,  annually,  $1,000.00  in  prizes 
to  be  awarded  to  the  Agricultural  Colleges  making  the  best 
exhibit  of  live  stock  at  the  International  Live  Stock  Exposition 
students  in  the  department  of  Animal  Husbandry.  These  fellow- 
ships, amounting  to  $300.00  per  student  annually,  are  granted  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees  upon  the  recommendation  of  the  dean  of 
the  Division  of  Agriculture  and  the  head  of  the  department.  A 
student  holding  a  fellowship  may  pursue  post-graduate  work  in 
Animal  Husbandry. 

GRADUATE  COURSES. 

We  are  now  in  a  position  to  offer  post-graduate  work  along 
five  distinct  lines.  Students  to  be  eligible  to  take  this  work  must 
comply  with  the  College  requirements  for  post-graduate  work  as 
stated   elsewhere  in   this   catalog. 

(a).  Animal  Nutrition.  We  have  excellent  facilities  for 
advanced  research  work  along  this  line  on  account  of  the  vast 
amount  of  work  done  on  the  College  farm,  and  on  the  Cook  farm 
at  Odebolt,  Iowa,  along  the  lines  of  horse,  cattle,  sheep,  and 
swine  feeding  experiments.  We  have,  annually,  over  one  thous- 
and animals  in  feeding  experiments  under  our  direct  supervision. 
Students  desiring  special  research  work  along  this  line  may 
do  the  same  under  the  direction  of  the  head  of  the  Department. 

(b).  Animal  Breeding.  A  special  line  of  research  work  has 
been  outlined  for  students  desiring  special  work  pertaining  to 
underlying  principles  of  animal  breeding.  Special  experiments 
are  being  conducted  on  the  farm  along  new  and  original  lines. 

(c).  Study  of  Breeds.  Our  large  collection  of  pure  bred  ani- 
mals representing  almost  every  recognized  breed  of  live  stock 
on  the  continent  affords  us  excellent  opportunities  for  special 
work  along  these  lines.  We  not  only  have  typical  specimens,  but, 
in  most  instances,  we  have  complete  breeding  herds,  thus  an 
held  at  Chicago  in  December  of  each  year.  They  stipulate  that 
the  money  won   by  the  various  colleges  shall   be  used  for  the 


104  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

establishment  of  fellowship  prizes  to  be  awarded  to  graduate 
excellent  opportunity  to  study  the  adaptability  of  each  breed 
to  Iowa  conditions. 

(d).  Stock  Judging.  We  have  unusual  facilities  for  thor- 
ough work  along  this  line.  All  of  the  various  market  types  of 
animals  are  available,  also  good  representatives  of  all  the  pure 
breeds.  Animals  are  carefully  examined  on  foot  and  afterwards 
slaughtered  and  cut  up  on  the  block  and  the  exact  percentages 
of  the  various  cuts  and  the  values  of  the  same  are  ascertained. 

(e).  Practical  Management  of  Stock.  This  course  will  in- 
clude an  exhaustive  investigation  and  study  of  the  methods  in 
vogue  on  the  best  managed  stock  farms  and  breeding  estab- 
lishments in  the  United  States,  Canada,  Great  Britain,  and  other 
countries,  and  is  intended  especially  for  those  students  who  are 
preparing  themselves  for  managers  of  stock  farms. 

POSITIONS     OPEN     TO     MEN     TRAINED     ALONG     ANIMAL 
HUSBANDRY  LINES. 

The  demand  for  competent  young  men  thoroughly  trained 
along  the  lines  of  practical  and  scientific  animal  husbandry  work 
by  far  exceeds  the  supply.  We  are  constantly  in  receipt  of  in- 
quiries for  men  combining  college  training  with  practical  ex- 
perience and  natural  ability.  There  appears  to  be  no  limit  to 
the  demand  at  a  compensation  not  exceeded  in  any  other  calling. 
Our  course  is  so  arranged  that  our  students  have  an  excellent 
chance  to  combine  practical  and  scientific  knowledge.  A  few 
of  the  many  lines  of  work  open  to  graduates  of  this  department 
are:  College  and  Experiment  Station  work,  Agricultural  jour- 
nalism, Managers  of  stock  farms,  Salesmen  with  commission 
merchants  and  Buyers  for  the  packing  houses  at  the  many  stock 
yard  centers,  Salesmen  of  animal  feed  stuffs  manufactured  by 
the  packing  houses,  Glucose  companies,  Linseed  and  Cotton 
seed  oil  companies,  etc.,  etc.  At  the  present  time  we  have  not 
nearly  enough  good  men  to  fill  the  positions  open  to  graduates.

DEPARTMENT    OF    HORTICULTURE    AND    FORESTRY. 

HOMER    C.    TRICE,    PROFESSOR. 
ARTHUR     T.     ERWIN,     ASSISTANT     PROFESSOR.      EDWARD     E.     LITTLE, 

ASSISTANT. 

The  Department  of  Horticulture  has  offices,  classroom  and 
library  on  the  second  floor  of  Agricultural  Hall,  a  laboratory- 
building  35x50  feet,  two  stories  high  with  a  nine  foot  basement, 
greenhouses,  consisting  of  a  curvilinear  palm  house,  24x33  feet; 
an  even  span  house  19x33  feet  which  is  connected  to  the  labora- 
tory and  used  for  laboratory  purposes,  and  three  propagating 
houses,  10x33  feet.  Additional  greenhouses  will  be  built  this 
summer  for  the  department  which  will  make  approximately  4,000 
square  feet  under  glass. 

The  main  floor  of  the  laboratory  is  divided  into  two  rooms 
and  will  accommodate  fifty  students.  One  of  the  rooms  is  es- 
pecially fitted  for  the  study  of  fruits,  and  opening  from  it  are 
two  refrigerators  for  the  storing  of  specimens.  The  second  floor 
contains  photographic  and  dark  rooms  for  the  department,  and 
the  horticultural  museum,  equipped  with  a  full  collection  of  hor- 
ticultural implements  and  machinery.  The  museum  also  con- 
tains a  large  collection  of  fruit  models  and  a  horticultural  herb- 
arium that  is  accessible  to  advanced  students. 

The  green  houses  give  every  opportunity  for  the  student 
to  become  familiar  with  the  management  of  plants  under  glass, 
and  the  collection  of  plants  has  been  made  with  the  view  of  hav- 
ing them  of  the  greatest  educational  value. 

The  department  has  a  large  library  which  is  kept  in  the 
offices  in  Agricultural  Hall  and  in  addition  to  the  complete  files 
of  horticultural  publications  of  the  country,  possesses  the  private 
library  of  Charles  Downing,  the  author  of  "Fruits  and  Fruit 
Trees  of  America,"  which  contains  many  rare  horticultural  works 
as  well  as  his  original  notes  and  manuscript. 

The  land  devoted  to  Horticultural  purposes  comprises  about 
forty  acres.  In  this  area  are  orchards  of  varying  ages  from 
fifteen  years  down  to  those  set  within  the  last  two  years.  The 
varieties  of  fruits  on  trial  number  more  than  one  thousand, 
and  include  the  hardiest  types  of  native  and  foreign  kinds.  The 
student  is  thus  afforded  unusual  facilities  for  observation  and 
study.     Adjacent  to  the  orchards  and  small  fruit  plantations  are 


110  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

the  nursery  grounds  where  the  operations  of  the  nurseryman 
in  the  various  methods  of  stratification,  budding  and  grafting  are 
illustrated  in  a  practical  manner.  A  considerable  area  is  devoted 
each  year  to  the  growing  of  vegetables  and  variety  tests  of  the 
leading  types  are  made  in  connection  with  the  Experiment  Sta- 
tion work,  thus  affording  ample  opportunity  for  field  study  in 
the  methods  of  culture  practiced  by  the  amateur  and  market 
gardener. 

There  is  a  rorest  plantation  of  about  ten  acres  in  which  are 
growing  a  large  number  of  the  best  varieties  of  deciduous  trees 
for  the  northwest.  A  collection  of  over  one  thousand  prepared 
sections  of  the  American  woods  is  used  for  illustrating  the  lec- 
tures on  forestry.  The  campus  and  shelter  belts  surrounding 
the  college  give  ample  opportunity  for  a  study  of  the  compara- 
tive value  of  native  and  foreign  trees  when  used  for  windbreak 
and  landscape  effect. 

The  graduate  who  completes  the  course  in  Horticulture  will 
find  himself  well  equipped  in  the  technique  and  applied  principles 
of  commercial  horticulture.  Fruit  growing  has  become  a  spe- 
cialized industry  and  success  rewards  the  laborer  in  propor- 
tion as  intelligent  skill  and  perseverance  are  applied  to  the 
work,  with  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  principles.  Grad- 
uates who  desire  to  pursue  post-graduate  work  will  find  them- 
selves well  prepared  to  do  so  either  at  this  or  other  institutions 
of  like  character. 

Text  books  are  used  in  each  course  when  it  is  possible 
to  do  so  advantageously.  Lectures  are  given  when  it  is  necessary 
to  enlarge  or  supplement  the  text.  Particular  stress  is  laid  on 
laboratory  instruction  and  the  facilities  and  equipment,  are  ex- 
ceptionally good  for  this  phase  of  the  work.  The  following 
courses  of  study  are  offered:

GRADUATE  WORK. 

The  department  of  horticulture  offers  graduate  work  along 
four  distinct  lines: 

Pomology. — The  orchards  of  the  department,  which  contain 
over  two  hundred  and  fifty  varieties  of  apples,  one  hundred  and 
fifty  varieties  of  plums,  and  fifty  varieties  of  cherries,  furnish 
abundant  material  for  the  specialist  who  desires  to  make  a  com- 
parative study  of  varieties.  In  addition  to  this,  the  department 
possesses  the  private  library  of  Charles  Downing  and  his  un- 
published manuscript  notes  and  descriptions;    also  several  hun- 


114  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

dred   catalogued   descriptions  of  fruit  that  have  been  made  in 
the  last  few  years  in  the  department. 

Plant  Breeding. — For  many  years  systematic  plant  breed- 
ing has  been  carried  on  by  the  department.  The  results  of  mis 
work  can  be  seen  in  all  stages  from  the  young  plants  just  start- 
ing to  grow  to  those  that  have  been  fruiting  or  flowering  for 
many  years.  The  department  each  year  carries  on  extensive  work 
in  plant  breeding  in  connection  with  the  State  Horticultural 
Society  which  offers  exceptional  opportunity  for  study  and  field 
experience  by  the  specialist.  The  department  is  equipped  with 
incubators,  microscopes  and  other  apparatus  for  laboratory  in- 
vestigations. 

Greenhouse  Work. — The  greenhouses  of  the  department  give 
exceptional  opportunity  for  investigation  along  this  line.  The 
department  has  five  thousand  square  feet  under  glass,  divided 
into  eight  different  houses  which  are  devoted  to  the  growing 
of  flowers,  vegetables,  and  plant  breeding  experiments.  Oppor- 
tunity is  offered  for  investigation  in  greenhouse  management, 
propagation  of  plants  and  a  study  of  the  insect  and  fungus  en- 
emies of  greenhouse  plants. 

Forestry. — Iowa,  being  a  treeless  state,  presents  many  new 
and  unsolved  problems  of  tree  growth,  such  as  adaptation  of 
species  to  the  varying  soil  and  climatic  conditions,  influence  of 
wind  breaks  and  shelter  belts,  and  the  comparative  rate  of 
growth  of  the  different  species.  Upon  and  adjoining  the  college 
grounds  are  groves  of  evergreen  and  deciduous  trees  of  varying 
ages  which  provide  facilities  for  investigation  along  this  line. 
The  department  has  in  its  museum  forestry  specimens  represent- 
ing one  thousand  species.  The  department  is  also  co-operating 
with  the  United  States  Weather  Bureau  in  the  investigation  of 
the    influence    of   windbreaks   upon   climate.

AGRICULTURAL    CHEMISTRY. 

A.    A.    BENNETT,    PROFESSOR. 
ASSISTANT    PROFESSOR. 


The  aim  of  the  work  in  Agricultural  Chemistry  is  twofold; 
namely,  to  give  the  student  a  fundamental  knowledge  of  chem- 
istry, and  then  to  apply  this  knowledge  to  the  chemical  problems 
of  agriculture. 

A  sufficient  amount  of  time  during  the  first  year  and  a  half  of 
study  is  applied  to  the  acquiring  of  chemical  principles  and  re- 
lations, yet  at  the  same  time  the  application  of  these  facts  is 
considered  and  constitutes  a  portion  of  the  work.  In  other  words 
the  study  of  the  science  of  chemistry  accompanies  its  application 
to  agricultural  questions.  The  later  work  of  the  courses  is  prin- 
cipally devoted  to  applied  chemistry. 

The  courses  of  study  open  to  the  undergraduate  student  are 
briefly  described  as  follows: 

Course  XXI. — Elementary  Experimental  Chemistry. — This  is 
the  introductory  work  for  the  students  in  the  agricultural  courses 
and  is  intended  to  give  knowledge  of  matter  by  actual  handling 
and  experience  with  it.  The  recitations  are  upon  the  laboratory 
work  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  a  first-hand  knowledge  of 
chemical  changes.  The  student  learns  how,  and  the  necessity 
for  taking  notes  of  useful  data,  how  to  interpret  these  facts  and 
apply  them  to  common  chemical  changes  that  are  going  on  in 
nature.  The  course  includes  a  study  of  the  so-called  non-metallic 
elements  that  are  present  in  the  air  and  soils,  etc.  There  are 
three  rcitations  and  two  afternoons  of  laboratory  practice  per 
Week.     First  Term,  Sophomore  Year. 

Course  XXIII. — This  course  is  a  continuation  of  Course  XXI, 
dealing  with  the  metallic  elements  and  their  relation  to  those 
studied  in  the  preceeding  term.  In  this  course  the  student  be- 
comes acquainted  with  the  basic  elements  in  the  soil  and  their 
relations  to  non-metallic  compounds,  i.  e.,  the  acids  and  their 
place  in  the  formations  of  salts.  He  learns  how  to  separate  and 
recognize  these  elements,  their  compounds,  preparatory  to  deter- 
mining them  quantitatively.  Three  recitations  and  two  after- 
noons of  laboratory  work  are  required  each  week.  Second  Term, 
Sophomore  Year. 

Course  XXV. — Organic  Chemistry. — This  course  follows  reg- 
ularly Courses  XXI  and  XXIII   and   deals  with  substances  pro- 


122  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

duced  by  animal  and  plant  life.  The  laboratory  study  brings 
the  student  in  touch  with  the  properties  and  methods  of  prepar- 
ing organic  food  material.  The  sugars,  starches  and  proteids, 
the  simpler  food  material  will  be  studied  and  at  the  same  time 
the  fundamentals  of  organic  chemistry  will  be  required.  The 
work  is  divided  into  two  recitations  and  two  laboratory  periods 
per  week,  during  the  First  Term,  Junior  Year. 

Course  XXVI. — Chemistry  Applied  to  Agriculture. — This 
work  will  be  introduced  in  the  laboratory  study  by  quantitative 
analysis  of  inorganic  substances  followed  by  analyses  of  soils, 
fertilizers  and  other  inorganic  substances  related  to  agri- 
cultural processes.  The  recitation  work,  two  hours  per  week,  will 
follow  the  laboratory  practice  and  be  accompanied  by  text  book 
and  lecture  study. 

Course  XXVII. — Chemistry  Applied  to  Agriculture. — This 
course  will  consider  in  an  elementary  manner  the  organic  phase 
of  Agricultural  Chemistry  and  will  deal  with  the  chemical 
changes  in  foods  during  digestion  and  assimilation,  and  the 
changes  that  occur  in  the  plant  and  animal  body.  Some  time 
will  be  devoted  to  dairy  products  and  especially  to  the  methods 
of  analyzing  such  substances  for  adulteration.  Laboratory  prac- 
tice will  occupy  two  afternoons  per  week. 

Course  XXVIII. — Dairy  Chemistry. — Lectures  and  labora- 
tory practice.  This  course  is  for  students  in  the  one  year  course 
in  dairying,  and  will  be  arranged  to  fit  the  needs  and  the  prepa- 
ration of  such  students,  but  it  will  be  an  elementary  character 
throughout.     First  Term. 

Course  XXIX. — Continuation  of  Course  XXVIII.  Second 
Term. 

GRADUATE  WORK  IN  AGRICULTURAL  CHEMISTRY. 

Advanced  work  in  agricultural  chemistry  leading  to  the  mas- 
ter's degree  in  scientific  agriculture  may  be  selected  either  as  a 
major  or  minor  study.  This  work  may  be  taken  in  the  chemical 
department  as  a  continuation  of  the  work  begun  as  an  under- 
graduate of  this  college  or  any  other  college  of  equal  rank.  Or 
the  student  may  elect  to  do  this  work  with  the  chemical  section 
of  the  experiment  station  thus  coming  in  touch  with  the  research 
work  and  investigations  being  carried  on  there.  The  following 
courses  of  graduate  work  are  offered: 

Course  I. — Chemistry  of  Soils. — This  course  embraces  a 
study  in  soil  chemistry  and  its  relation  to  plant  life,  including  the 


DIVISION    OF    AGRICULTURE  12)3 

chemical  composition,  its  relation  to  fertility,  the  determination 
of  available  plant  food,  fertilizers  and  other  substances  which 
are  effective  in  the  production  of  crops,  also  the  study  of  rain 
and  drainage  waters,  the  loss  of  plant  food  due  to  improper 
drainage  and  other  conditions. 

Course  II. — Chemistry  of  Dairying. — This  work  will  cover  a 
general  survey  of  the  field  of  chemistry  applied  to  dairy  problems 
such  as  the  composition  and  chemical  changes  of  butter,  milk 
and  cheese,  and  also  other  oils  and  fats  used  as  food  products 
and  for  adulteration. 

Course  III. — Chemistry  of  Feeds. — This  course  includes  a 
careful  study  of  the  chemistry  of  plants  and  field  crops,  such  as 
the  chemical  composition  of  corn,  wheat  and  oats,  methods  of 
modifying  and  improving  the  chemical  composition  by  selection 
and  plant  breeding,  chemical  study  of  growing  plants  during  the 
various  stages  of  development,  etc.,  the  effects  of  various  elements 
in  the  soil  on  the  composition  and  quality  and  the  yield  or  pro- 
ductiveness of  the  grain  and  forage  crops.  The  study  of  the 
chemical  composition  and  nutriments  of  the  various  refuse  and 
by-products  used  for  stock  feeding. 

Course  IV. — Chemistry  of  Horticulture. — This  course  in- 
cludes a  careful  study  of  the  chemical  composition  of  fruits  in- 
cluding the  influence  of  various  elements  present  in  the  soil  on 
the  composition,  quality  and  productiveness  of  the  orchard, 
vineyard  or  garden;  also  the  influence  of  climatic  conditions  upon 
the  composition  and  quality  of  fruits,  and  the  influence  of  selec- 
tion and  breeding. 

AGRICULTURAL   GEOLOGY. 

Course    IX. — Open    to    students    in    division    of    agriculture, 

Second   Term,    Sophomore   Year,   and    counts   three    hours.     The 

origin,   mineralogy   and    physiography   of     soils    with   attendant 

problems  are  treated  as  fully  as  the  time  will  permit.     Dr.  Beyer. 

COMPARATIVE  ANATOMY. 

Prepared  for  students  in  Animal  Husbandry  (Veterinary  Sci- 
ence, 55),  and  comprises  lectures  from  models  and  prepared  speci- 
mens, recitations  and  practical  work  in  dissection.  This  course 
is  given  during  the  first  term,  Senior  year.     Dr.  McNeall. 

THE  AGRICULTURAL  CLUB. 
A    Students'    Agricultural    Club    holds    weekly    meetings    in 
Agricultural  Hall  for  the  consideration  of  current  topics  in  agri- 


124  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

culture.  A  students'  reading  room  is  also  maintained  there, 
and  all  the  leading  agricultural  journals  are  kept  on  file  for  the 
use  of  agricultural  students.  The  College  Library  contains  an 
extensive  list  of  agricultural  and  scientific  publications  to  which 
students  are  referred  for  original  research  and  study. 

There  are  seven  societies  that  hold  their  weekly  meetings 
on  Saturday  evenings  and  serve  to  supplement  the  literary  work 
of  the  college.  All  students  are  urged  to  join  in  the  work  of 
the  Agricultural  Club  and  advised  to  join  one  of  the  literary  so- 
cieties and  to  avail  themselves  of  these  other  adjunct  means  of 
instruction.  The  faculty  of  clear  and  concise  thinking  and 
speaking  is  of  incalculable  value  to  the  agricultural  student. 

REMUNERATIVE  AND  INSTRUCTIVE  LABOR. 

The  Agricultural  courses  afford  opportunity  to  do  consider- 
able work  in  the  fields  and  about  the  barns  and  grounds,  much 
of  which  is  instructive  and  of  practical  educational  value.  The 
compensation  for  services  of  this  kind  ranges  from  8  to  15  cents 
per  hour,  according  to  the  merit  of  the  work.  Students  are 
thus  able  to  earn  from  one-fourth  to  one-half  their  expenses 
and  at  the  same  time  materially  strengthen  the  practical  side 
of  their  education.  A  number  of  the  strongest  and  most  capable 
students  have  been  aided  in  finding  employment  during  vaca- 
tions with  successful  stockmen  on  good  farms  and  in  various  oth- 
er positions  in  line  with  their  chosen  lines  of  work.  Some  young 
men  have  preferred  to  take  a  year  of  practical  work  in  this  way 
during  their  course,  and  it  has  invariably  proved  of  marked  bene- 
fit and  enabled  them  to  command  more  desirable  and  remunera- 
tive positions  at  the  completion  of  their  college  work.  Too  much 
emphasis  cannot  be  placed  on  a  thorough  understanding  of  the 
practical  application  of  correct  principles  in  agriculture. 

SPECIAL   COURSES. 

Students  desiring  shorter  courses  of  study  will  be  permitted 
to  take  up  special  courses  in  accordance  with  the  general  regula- 
tions governing  such  work  and  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
Dean  of  the  Division  of  Agriculture  and  the  President  of  the 
College. 

Such  courses  may  cover  a  period  of  one  term,  one  year  or 
two  years,  but  special  students  are  advised  to  take  not  less  than 
one  year's  work  in  any  chosen  branch  and  in  all  cases  where 


DIVISION    OF    AGRICULTURE  125 

practicable  or  possible  to  do  so,  students  are  urged  to  complete  the 
four  years'  course.  The  results  will  fully  justify  the  time  and 
expense  required  and  modern  agriculture  demands  thorough 
training,  special  fitness,  and  a  high  order  of  ability.  No  degrees 
are  granted  for  less  than  four  years'  work. 

GRADUATE  COURSES. 

Special  facilities  are  offered  for  Graduate  work  in  the  fol- 
lowing lines  as  described  under  the  head  of  graduate  work  in  the

elor of  Scientific  Agriculture.  Graduate  Students  are  eligible  for 
the  degree  of  M.   S.  A.,  Master  of  Scientific  Agriculture.     This 


12f)  IOWA  STATE  COLLEGE 

degree  is  granted  only  to  students  who  have  completed  a  four 
year  course  in  this  or  some  similar  college  and  completed  a  two 
year  graduate  course  in  scientific  and  practical  agriculture,  one 
year  of  which  must  be  resident  work  at  this  college.  The  work 
required  for  a  post  graduate  degree  is  largely  in  the  nature  of 
personal  research  and  investigation  under  the  direction  of  pro- 
fessors in  charge  of  the  studies  chosen.  The  work  selected  must 
embrace  a  major  and  a  minor  subject  in  different  departments. 

CREDITS  FOR  PRACTICAL  WORK. 

Agricultural  students  who,  by  previous  agreement  with  the 
head  of  the  department,  do  practical  work  on  farms,  horticultural 
or  feeding  or  breeding  establishments,  beet  sugar  factories  or 
forestry  reservations,  of  recognized  standing,  during  their  course 
of  study  will  be  allowed  credits  on  the  following  basis:  Students 
who  take  practical  work  of  the  kind  described  under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  proprietor  and  render  competent  and  faithful  service, 
will,  on  their  return  to  College  and  the  presentation  of  a  concise 
written  report  or  resume  of  their  observations  and  experience, 
be  entitled  to  the  following  credits  in  the  four  year  courses  in 
Agriculture: 

For  three  months,  five  hours  or  elective  work  in  the  Junior 
or  Senior  year;  for  six  months,  eight  hours;  and  for  one  year, 
ten  hours;  no  more  than  five  hours  of  which  shall  be  credited  in 
any  one  term  of  the  college  course. 

POSITIONS. 

The  demand  for  competent  young  men  thoroughly  trained 
in  practical  and  scientific  agriculture  and  dairying  exceeds  the 
supply.  We  are  in  constant  receipt  of  inquiries  for  men  combin- 
ing college  training  with  practical  experience  and  natural  ability. 
There  appears  to  be  no  limit  to  the  demand  for  the  right  kind  of 
men  and  the  compensation  for  such  service  is  not  exceeded  in 
any  other  calling.  In  view  of  this  demand  for  well  trained  men 
in  the  field  of  agriculture,  students  are  urged  to  take  a  full  four 
years'  course,  supplemented  with  extensive  practical  work  and 
observation.  To  this  end,  a  number  of  our  best  students  have 
taken  a  term  or  a  year  out  during  their  course  on  some  of  the 
best  farms  of  this  and  other  states;  and  many  have  secured  em- 
ployment during  vacations  in  large  dairy  and  horticultural  es- 
tablishments where  the  most  valuable  practical  experience  can 


DIVISION   OF    AGRICULTURE  127 

be  acquired.  The  importance  of  this  feature  of  preparation  can- 
not be  overestimated  and  it  is  urged  and  recommended  even 
where  young  men  are  entirely  familiar  with  ordinary  agricultural 
work.  It  enables  the  student  to  derive  more  benefit  from  his 
course  in  college  and  fits  him  for  a  better  and  more  lucrative 
position  after  graduation. 

DEPARTMENT  OF  AGRICULTURE    SCHOLARSHIP. 

The  State  Department  of  Agriculture  offers  a  scholarship

EXPERIMENT    STATION. 

The  investigations  of  the  Experiment  Station  have  an  inti- 
mate relation  to  the  college  work  of  instruction,  as  the  problems 
occupying  the  attention  of  the  Station  are  those  that  have  a 
material  bearing  on  the  profit  of  the  farm,  and  they  are  also  those 
that  are  timely,  and  in  need  of  accurate  investigation.  Whether 
relating  to  the  field  or  the  feed  lot,  the  aim  is  to  investigate  those 
questions  which  will  have  a  practical  relation  to  successful  agri- 
culture. Originality  is  made  a  feature  of  the  work  so  far  as  it  is 
consistent  with  useful  results,  and  in  all  instances  the  sole  object 
is  to  throw  light  on  the  truth  relating  to  the  various  principles 
and  practices  of  the  farm.  The  field  work  strongly  supports  the 
instruction  of  the  College  in  regard  to  the  varieties  of  grains  and 
the  method  of  cultivation,  thus  enabling  the  student  to  become 
acquainted  with  the  latest  ideas  relating  to  these.  Thorough 
tests  are  made  of  the  different  varieties  of  fodders,  grasses  and 
grains.  In  addition  to  this,  complete  trials,  embodying  various 
crops  and  systems  of  culture,  are  carried  on  extensively  each  year, 
with  the  hope  of  giving  direction  to  the  farm  management  that  is 
best  for  Iowa. 

The  investigations  with  animals  embrace  a  study  of  the  value 
of  different  feeds  for  different  features  of  animal  production.  The 
system  of  feeding,  the  preparation  of  different  feeds  are  also 
made  the  subjects  of  investigation  as  far  as  it  is  thought  they 
may  be  made  a  part  of  the  methods  of  the  Iowa  farmer.  Included 
with  these,  there  have  been  a  large  number  of  trials  with  the 
different  types  of  animals  suitable  for  the  requirements  of  the 
market.  The  object  sought  in  this  department  of  the  Station 
work  has  been  to  indicate  the  manner  in  which  the  Iowa  farmer 
through  the  employment  of  animals  can  realize  the  most  from  his 


DIVISION    OF    AGRICULTURE  133 

farm  products  and  add  to  the  fertility  of  the  farm.  The  Experi- 
ment Station  has  reached  out  in  this  way  to  a  remarkable  degree, 
bringing  sheep  from  Mexico,  Colorado  and  Scotland,  cattle  from 
Texas  and  Great  Britain,  horses  from  Wyoming,  Montana  and 
Europe,  in  its  endeavor  to  thoroughly  study  this  very  important 
feature  of  the  farmer's  work.  The  data  from  these  experiments 
is  always  accessible  to  the  student  and  he  has  the  opportunity  of 
daily  observing  the  development  of  it  at  every  stage. 

The  dairy  industry  is  already  indebted  to  the  Experiment 
Station  for  doing  much  towards  establishing  it  on  a  surer  found- 
ation of  accurate  knowledge.  The  Station  has  always  kept  in 
closest  touch  with  those  engaged  in  the  various  lines  of  the  dairy 
industry.  Some  of  the  problems  which  practical  men  are  con- 
stantly meeting  and  asking  aid  in  solving,  are  at  all  times  objects 
of  experiment  by  the  Dairy  Section.  The  students  have  the  ad- 
vantage of  seeing  these  experiments  carried  out,  and  in  some 
cases  assist  in  the  work  themselves.  In  this  way  they  learn  not 
only  what  are  the  chief  problems  to  be  solved  but  become  in- 
formed on  the  methods  employed  in  different  lines  of  investiga- 
tion. The  experimental  work  that  has  been  so  far  conducted,  re- 
lates mainly  to  the  various  problems  of  buttermaking  while  lately 
features  of  cheesemaking  have  been  made  subjects  of  special 
study.  The  records  of  these  are  abundantly  used  in  class  work, 
together  with  the  results  from  the  later  investigations  in  the 
newer  field  of  bacteriology. 

The  Horticultural  Department  in  its  connection  with  the 
Experiment  Station  affords  the  student  admirable  opportunities 
for  checking  the  theory  of  the  class  room  against  the  practice  of 
the  field.  The  connection  of  the  Department  of  Horticulture 
with  the  State  Horticultural  Society  is  such  that  problems  touch- 
ing the  commercial  side  of  fruit  growing  receive  the  closest  at- 
tention. The  field  equipment  of  the  Department  is  excellent,  so 
that  experiments  in  spraying  for  the  prevention  of  fungous  pests 
and  injurious  insects  may  be  carried  on  under  the  eye  of  the  stu- 
dent; this  is  true  also  of  other  phases  of  orchard  routine,  such  as 
fertilizing,  pruning  and  thinning.  The  experimental  nursery 
work  carried  on  is  of  decided  educational  value.  In  plant  breed- 
ing, extensive  experiments  have  been  inaugurated  and  are  still 
in  progress.  The  Station  work  thus  equips  the  student  with  the 
practice  and  technique  necessary  to  a  thorough  horticultural 
training.
